Creating Custom Dialog Boxes
3. Complete the dialog box:
EXE Path
Specify the path to the application to be executed, including the application
executable. Use variable substitution (example: %MAINDIR% to refer to the
application directory) to ensure a valid path regardless the installation location.
Enter only the file name if you set the path in the Default Directory field
below.
Command Line
Enter the command-line options for the application (example: /S /Q). To link to
a Web page, enter the URL for the Web page (example: http://
www.sample.com).
Default Directory
Specify the directory where the application looks first when looking for a file. If
you entered only the file name in the EXE Path field, the file must exist in this
directory. You can also use variable substitution.
Variables Added
Any script variables that were added by the executable program using a DDE
link are displayed.
Note
This field is retained for backward compatibility only.
Window Size
You can force the application to run in a maximized or minimized window, or
allow it to run in its default (normal) window.
Wait for Program to Exit
Mark this to pause the installation until the executed installation has exited.
