Summary

Synopsis

When displaying a skinned dialog in a InstallScript project, the default computer icon appears in the left side of the dialog on top of the image beneath. This appears in both the default skins bundled with InstallShield and in the sample custom skins that are included in the Skin Customization Kit. This article explains how to remove the default computer icon from the dialog in a InstallScript MSI setup so that the only image displayed is the one beneath.

Discussion

It is possible to remove the default computer icon that appears on the left side of skinned dialogs by using InstallScript. To accomplish this, follow these steps:

1. Select the InstallScript view.

2. Navigate to the OnFirstUIBefore event in the setup.rul file.

3. Immediately before any dialogs are shown in this event (such as Dlg_Welcome), insert the following code:

   DialogSetInfo (DLG_INFO_ALTIMAGE, "", TRUE);

4. Rebuild the project.

This turns off the computer image so it no longer appears on the skinned dialogs.
