Hide Actions?

[jimscharff]

I've still got a problem! My project is working fine, except that when the install actions kick in, the progress bar has over the top of it a description of all the actions in progress (writing to registry, copying files, creating uninstall etc).

I like the progress bar. I don't want the messages. It would great to have these messages replaced by something like "Your application is being installed!".


Is there a way to do this (I guess I know the answer!)

Jim,

I am sorry that your previous post was not addressed. What you can do is go to Design -> General Design -> Languages and edit the language file that your setup uses (English by default).

For example "Copying Files" is ID: MSG_PROG_COPY_FILE so if you change this message to something more generic then you will have the functionality that you desire.

I know that this may be tedious to change all of the messages that apply to your setup but it does work.

Thanks Adam

I understand the message editing approach (and have tried that to a limited extent). My main issue was to hide the file-names that I am loading onto a users PC.

Is there any chance that more flexibility in formatting the Installation Screen is included in the next release? That would be terrific.

ie No comments. No Writing. Just a nice simple progress bar with % completed so far and time left to complete (in seconds)?

..this modified english language file is from one of my projects

obviously some of the entries will not suit..so just modify..

have a look at it and you can get rid of the Filename stuff..
(already changed to something else)

may help a little..backup the Current English.lng file and your
current Source and Project..if needed and copy the one in the
zip file below..should be able to just try it out as is..

again make sure you backup the current ENGLISH.LNG before
doing anything..

another thought..you may be able to set a string to "" or " "
to remove all text.. for that action..
(hav'nt tested wether doing this will be OK or whether the call for progress will fall over)

so far the actual 'progress bar' is triggered by the below actions only ?

copy
installfile
move
delete
rename a file to another location ? (essentially a move action)

..there may be more..going on memory with this..

Yep many are waiting for a configuarable 'Progress' routine
and the power of 'Tables'
my wishlist..Setup factory having ability to run a preconfigued LUA script
and AMS5 and SUFV7 being able to fully 'talk' to each other.

...Roll on Version 7

Instead of modifying the language file, you can assign your text to a variable like this:
Assign Value(MSG_PROG_CHANGE_FILE_ATTRIB =- - - Your own text - - -)

Thanks to all for your guidance - you have given me an approach to try - I'll happily let you know how I get on!


Regards

As said - roll on Version 7!
