Is it possible to add a disclaimer window to the distribution kit using CVI 5.0?

[Applications Engineer]

I need to add a disclaimer window to the installation of the software that is sent to our customers. This window will follow the standard disclaimer, some text with an "I accept" and "I decline" buttons.
Is this possible using CVI 5.0?

If not is it possible with the latest version of CVI?

Thanks,

William

William,

As of CVI 6.0 (released last week) this functionality is not integrated in the installer tool. I suspect you will need to add this disclaimer window either before or after the CVI installer. From the CVI distribution kit you can specify an executable to be ran right after installation of the CVI files. This is the only place I found where you can add this disclaimer.

William,

Actually, you might want to read the following document that explains what can be customized with CVi 6.0 distribution kit. It appears that you might be able to add the disclaimer with MSI technology:

Sorry, the company that wrote that installer scripting technology is out of business so we can no longer refer you to them for customization information. That's why we moved to Microsoft's new MSI installer technology which can be imported and customized in Wise or InstallShield. We have very little information on customization of the install script for the old technology. The information we do have is in our knowledgebase for a few specific tasks like disabling uninstall, etc.
