Description of Graphical Installer Wizard's
pages
|
Wizard is similar to classic Inno Setup Wizard. We will describe
only differences between them.
Please remember: Wizard does not cover all features of Inno
Setup. Option 'Create new script file' will create only basic
skeleton of your installer (but with all features from Graphical
Installer package like background, skinned buttons, ...). To create
fully featured installers use wizards provided in Inno Setup
package, innoIDE, Inno Script Studio or other tools.
Tip:
Press F1 (or click the question mark symbol in the corner of window) anytime

This must be set!
Warning:
Background of the installer consists from three separate images:
the background image itself - this one you choose in Wizard - and
the inner dialogs image, top image and bottom image (generated
automatically by extern application from Wizard).
However you choose only background image the inner dialogs image
is also used to redraw installers dialogs controls, so it must be
created.
If you are importing some skin or image, you need to generate this
small image manually run the BitmapCutter.exe tool (see
BitmapCutter for
more info).
Tip:
Anytime you see an yellow field (usually with some hint like 'Drag
file here') in dialog, you can use Drag and Drop to select file
into this field to speed up your work.
If correct file is used the field turns green. On wrong file it
turns red.
