As a newbie to SF7 forgive me if this simple question has been answered before. I have no problem building my installation but I want to give the user the option of viewing one of two .pdf files after installation. I have added 2 radio buttons to the "After Installation" screen and inserted the following code into the "On Next" actions: -

fAppFolder = SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%")
nSelControl = SessionVar.Expand("%RadioSelection%")

if nSelControl == CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_01 then
File.Open(fAppFolder.."\\File1.pdf", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL)
elseif nSelControl == CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_02 then
File.Open(fAppFolder.."\\File2.pdf", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL)
end

Irrespective of which button is selected neither of the "if" statements is ever true and neither file is opened. I have tried tracing the code but even if nSelControl is the same value as one of the buttons the file is still not opened, any ideas?

Just noticed the line in the help that tells me that I need to convert the string to a number before comparison! But Debug.SetTraceMode shows the value as a number anyway, there is no indication that it's a string!
