InstallAware ships with a powerful
dialog editor. Using the dialog editor, you can customize
pre-built setup themes, and also design your own themes from
scratch. The full range of controls available on dialogs has
to be seen to be believed.
Click each tab on the palette above to see
the full range of controls available. Controls unique to InstallAware
are highlighted in red.

can even define intra-dialog interaction between controls;
for instance, disable the Next button while the License Agreement
checkbox is unchecked. |
