Summary
How to give users the option to launch your application when the installation completesSynopsis
The standard "Install Complete" Panel does not provide an option to allow users to launch the installed program when installation completes. To add this option, an additional Get User Input Panel or a new Custom Code Panel that replaces the "Install Complete" Panel, needs to be created. The following provides steps on how to give users the option to launch your application when the installation completes with a Get User Input Panel.Discussion
InstallAnywhere Premier comes with Get User Input Panels that enable you to get input from end users. To implement this panel, follow the steps below:- Add a "Get User Input - Simple" Panel to the Post-Install Action List.
- Under Input Method, click on the drop-down list, select "Checkboxes" and then click on Configure.
- On the Configure Input Items dialog, click on the Add button.
- Enter a Label value into the new entry. For example, "Launch the Application".
- Modify the Default value if applicable and hit OK.
- Note the Results Variable for the Get User Input Panel. The default value for the Results Variable name is "USER_INPUT_RESULTS".
- Go to the Rules tab for the "Execute Target File" Action.
- Click Add Rule and select "Compare InstallAnywhere Variables".
- For Operand 1, add the Results Variable (ex. $USER_INPUT_RESULTS$) from the Get User Input Panel.
- Change the Operator value to "contains".
- For Operand 2, enter the value of the Label for the checkbox input (ex. Launch the Application) from the Get User Input Panel.
