1, can I customize the interface? For example, can I get two folder at the same form?
2, How can I operation on XML file ? I know there are plug-in for xml file parsing.How can I get it ?


Thanks.

1. You can use an Edit Fields screen to ask for two folders, and handle stuff like validation in the screen's event scripts.

2. Use the XML actions. You don't need a plugin; they're built right into Setup Factory 7 now.

That's a sulotion ,thanks very much. but if I do it that way , my user won't able to browse the computer and chose the right folder ,they can only type the right path themselves. It's not convenient. Is their any way to improve it.

I am using version 7 but after I diged up all the document's , it turns out their's no xml functions avilable. oh! did I miss some thing?


their's 2 other questions:
if I want bind onother setuppakage, for instance, the .Net Framework package, while I don't want it be foisted into "AppFolder"
How can I get their path to lanch it using File.Run, if this package is at the same folder with my setup.exe?

How can I give my users chance to chose if they put shortcut on their desktop or not ? I wonder if I can use the API you provide to solve this problem or their is a simple way? this is typical promblem I think.

thanks again !

The Edit Fields screen can display a button next to each edit field (see the screen's properties), so you could have Browse buttons for both input fields.

Another way would be to use 2 Select Folder screens, one after the other (and making sure they store their results in different variables).

Yep. There are several XML Actions (http://www.indigorose.com/webhelp/suf70/Program_Reference/Actions/Alphabetical_List.htm#XML) built into Setup Factory 7.

Use a checkbox screen to give the user that option.
