Hi, I'm building a setup for a win App.
I have 2 problems. I've created some dll that validate a serial number.. now
i want during setup that the user must insert his serial number and this
serial must be validate calling the function in my dll's... if ok.. setup
will proceed... or advise the user if it's wrong.

Second Matter. My app run on a mdb database, i have 2 versions of this app..
a server version whit is local db, and a client version that uses the mdb
file from some other server version.... now i want that my setup.. if i
choose client.. let me browse to the location/path where the mdb is.. and
return this.. writing in a config file.

a) Ho creato delle procedure che validano un numero di serie, ora vorrei che
la mia custom action, per la raccolta di questo numero di serie, passi allo
step successivo solo se la mia funzione ritorna un true (seriale valido).

I cant find a solution by myself.... anyone have examples.. code... or
something like this.. for an "advanced" setup like this????

Regards,
Gianmaria
 
HI,
(a) You can customize your deployment project

Go to View > Editor > User INterface,

You shall see the skeleton of the screens that will be shown when you
run the installation file setup.exe. Now you need to insert a dialog in
Start Section. Add a Register User dialog in the Start section. This
will do the trick. Hope you will be able to do the registration
configuring by your self.



(b) Cna you give more details in this regards?

Txs... sure i can give you more datils....

in every case... i'm able to send the info that a user insert to an external
funciotn.. but i dunno how to use the result of this function... to stop the
setup if the srial is not exact. I just know hot to send parameters..but
dunno how to receive this parameters.

For second step... when i install the client version... i dont use a local
db.. but a db on a network... it can be something like this...
\\ComputerName\Folder\myMdb .. now i want to red this path during install
and write it to a ini file.. so later i can read it and let the client work
with the db from this path.

Hope i'm been clear.
