I am writing an installer package that is for plugins, thereofre the install path changes accoring to the users host application. I have added a custom dialog with four radio buttons where the user can choose formt he most popular host applications. However on the next screen (FolderForm) after this the back button is disabled. I have figured if I set the FolderForm_PrevArgs property to Custom4Buttons (that is pointing to the previous custom made dialog) then I can go back. The problem is then that when I want to go forward again, then I don't go the the FolderForm but the installation launches. I have tried to set the Custom4Buttons_NextArgs to FolderForm, but this results in an error message. Any suggestions appretiated. Zsuzsa

MSI does not have a real back/next button concept, so the dialog you want show when the user presses Back or Next has to be identified by the Publish element of those button controls. You can have multiple publish elements and choose a the dialog by using a condition for those publish elements. Best regards, Sebastian Brand Instyler Software - http://www.instyler.com

So these properties are in Property table in Orca. What do you use when you talk about Publish element?

It's where you set up what happens when the user pushes the button. Best regards, Sebastian Brand Instyler Software - http://www.instyler.com
