Hi Blair,

My apologies for not replying.

Thankyou for this, I believe having external files for the license makes
things a lot simpler, and its easier to implement too!

Thanks again,

Dave

It's possible that whitespace isn't being preserved when parsing the
content of the Text element. I don't know if adding xml:preserve
attributes (or some other xml: attribute) will fix that or not.

IIRC what some of us have done for localizing license agreements UI is
to do the following: layout the localized RTF files in some consistent
fashion in the filesystem, and use either a "WixVariable" or a
localization variable to supply the variable part of the path to the
files. Something like this:

Thanks for this Blair,

Made it much easier to replace the standard dialog.

I am still having an issue though I'm afraid.

Basically I'm using a localised string to populate the scrollable text.
However the text doesn't appear when running the msi. Here is the
control snippet:


!(loc.License_Agreement)


I found an example in the tutorial, so I applied the following:


{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deftab720
{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fprq2 Times New Roman;}}
{\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0;}
\deflang1033\horzdoc{\*\fchars }{\*\lchars }
\pard\plain\f0\fs20
!(loc.License_Agreement)\par
}


This makes the text appear when running the msi, but all the text is
squashed together, and loses line breaks enter in the localisation file.
I understand the font application from the code above, but not sure what
the rest is doing...

If anyone can shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again!

Re: [WiX-users] License Agreement

[Nick Ramirez]

At first, you were using:

!(loc.License_Agreement) 

which uses a localization variable. You then switched to placing all of the
RTF content inline. Did you mean to do that? Or did you still want to use
the localization variable? If so, you can put the RTF data in your .wxl
file, such as:





And continue to just use the variable name in the .wxs file. It may help to
use CDATA tags too.

I think this happens if you have 'advanced' RTF content in the file.
When it happened to me I found opening it in WordPad and doing a "Save

Yes I do.
Isn"t it simpler to use LauchCondition standard action with a
confition on the property, is it?
By the way it also shorter.

I don't think you understand.  A type 19 custom action is just a row in
the CustomAction table that specifies an error message.  There is no

Re: [WiX-users] license agreement in silent installation

Phil,

Thanks for your replies.
1. Our suite has several components, some are command line applications. So
displaying the license at the first usage like Acrobat will not work for us. 
2. Command line installation will help us auto-testing our installer. It
will also enable our customers to do batch installation on many machines
overnight.
3. Given this EULA flag, we are going to provide a printout  and a website
for them to read the license first.

Regards, shibo

Hi,

Many thanks for all your replies. Very helpful to me as an a beginner.

What is the name of the license property for "Yes, I agree" checbox? Or do I
need to create a customised UI license agreement dialog? Code sample will be
greatly appreciated.

Put in a custom action that forces a failure (type 19 IIRC) when the
license agreement property has not been set.

Have your UI license agreement dialog set the property when they click
"Yes, I agree".

Make the license agreement property public so it can be set from the
command-line.

You don't.  You just fail the install with an error code and the
message for that error code says that they must agree to the license.

Re: [WiX-users] license agreement in silent installation

[Wilson, Phil]

Sometimes it works better to display the EULA at first run of the app. This 
gets around silent install issues, some scenarios where the install is pushed 
to client machines, and the person that agrees to the EULA is the person who's 
actually going to use it, not the person who installed it. Doesn't the Acrobat 
Reader do this?

Subject: [WiX-users] license agreement in silent installation

Hi,

We have a requirement that the license agreement needs to be displayed and
accepts y/n when installing from command line using msiexec, or use options
silmilar to  LICENSE_AGREEMENT="yes" or EULA=1

to skip the typing of "y/n".

Can anyone help how to achieve this?

Thanks,

Shibo

Thanks. I will try abort instead of display the license.

Further googling, LICENSE_AGREEMENT or EULA can be a property in .msi, I
guess that I can control the sequence based on this value. The question is
how to display the license in silent installtion mode if the property is not
set ?

Thanks, Shibo

I haven't tried it myself
But you could play with the UILevel property. From what I read you
cannot change it while the msiexec executes, but you could use it to
condition your setup behavior (abort).
Other prospect for this case is to use an external UI handler for your
setup (in a boostrapper) or launch the EULA from your apps on first
run.
