Thanks.

I want to have two projects open at the same time, so that I can compare them and copy lines from one to the other.

I tried to open another instance of IA9, but it goes to the existing instance.

How can I open two projects at the same time?

Thanks for your replies.

I will keep Admin privileges on when the install program needs to register activeX.

Hi Richard From your answer, can I assume that one does not usually need administrator rights for a Register Library line, as in: Register Library $TARGETDIR$\\ctTree.ocx ? Any thoughts as to why the ocx registers fine on some PCs, and on others it does not? Do you find that most install setups do n...

Before calling a dialog, I have defined: Set Variable MY_INFO to Welcome. In the dialog, one of the labels has the caption = $MY_INFO$.

Hi Richard

Excellent solution!

Thanks,

How can I disable Next in the Destination dialog if the remaining space is negative?

Also, I have static text on the form which should display if the remaining space is negative. Can this be done?

On a dialog, I would like to add text with a link to a URL, something like this:

Click http://www.installaware.com for more information.

I tried the HTML viewer, but I don't see where to add text and the link to it.

How do I add text that contains a URL link to a dialog form?

Thanks Richard

Very useful information. Appreciate your insight.

Hi Richard

Thanks your information is most helpful.

I wonder why InstallAware does not handle installing to Vista mapped drives natively. It seems your workaround is needed for using Installaware to install to Vista.

Would an InstallAware person or MVP care to jump in with a cleaner solution?

Hi Richard

Your suggestion of Write Registry Key does work. I have made this into a separate script that just writes the key.

Do you have it as part of your main installation, or as a separate script. How do you alert the user that they need to run it?

During an install, a user decides to install to drive X:

Unfortunately drive X: does not exist on her PC.

How can I detect that she has chosen an invalid drive? Also, where would I put a message telling her the drive she chose was invalid?

Candice, you said: We find the solution to be setting SUCCESS to TRUE as well. Did you mean: We find the solution to be setting SUCCESS to REBOOT as well. If yes, does this look OK: if Variable ADVERTISE Equals TRUE Apply Advertised (get result into variable SUCCESS) else Apply Install (...
