Confirming install path

[eboots]

Hi,

Our QA people are saying that the user should be able to confirm the install path he typed (on the directory page) when it is a new directory (ie when the installer is going to create it automatically).

What is the easiest way to do this?

Thanks for your help.

When you mean confirm, do you want them to re-enter or to show them what it is?

To show them what it is, you could make a custom page with InstallOptions or just a simple MessageBox in the Directory page's Leave function (and call Abort to go back).

Or perhaps something like this is what you want: (To be placed in the directory leave function.)

code:


Function DirLeave

   IfFileExists '$INSTDIR\*.*' continue 0

   MessageBox MB_OKCANCEL|MB_ICONQUESTION 'The directory "$INSTDIR" does not exist.  Create?' IDOK continue

   Abort

   continue:

   ; no need to specify anything here as the folder will get created automatically

FunctionEnd
