Q1: What restrictions
apply to registered users?
A1: There are no
restrictions regarding the created installations: you can
create any number of installations and distribute them freely
to any number of users using any medias.
The only restriction for registered users is that you can use
Astrum InstallWizard (the installation creation tool) only in
the number of workstations you purchased licenses for. As said,
the restriction applies only to the installation creation tool;
the installations created using it can be installed to any
number of machines.
Q2: How can I customize the installation dialog?
A2: Starting from version 1.93, the Installation dialog is listed in the dialog list like any other dialog and can be edited by double-clicking it. If you're using an older version, please update.
Q3: How can I customize the uninstallation dialog?
A3: Starting from version 1.93, the Uninstallation dialog is listed in the dialog list like any other dialog and can be edited by double-clicking it. If you're using an older version, please update.
Q4: Can I create my own themes?
A4: Yes.
No tool is yet available for creating themes but you can rather easily take a copy of some old theme file (.ait) and modify it according to your needs.
Q5: Does Aiw support command-line build?
A5: Yes. You can create your installation from command line using the /build switch. For example,
"Astrum InstallWizard.exe" /build "C:\My Installations\My Setup.aiw"
Q6: Aiw always adds <AppName>
after the user chosen directory on the 'Select destination
directory' dialog. Is there a way to prevent this?
A6: Yes. You can disable this feature on the Advanced page
(Disable auto-append <AppName>).
Q7: How can I make my setup run automatically when the CD containing my setup is inserted into the CD drive?
A7: This feature is not related to Astrum InstallWizard but you can tell Windows to launch some program from the CD by creating a file named autorun.inf to the root of the CD. The file should look like this (providing that you have files setup.exe and setup.ico in a subfolder named Setup):
[autorun]
OPEN=Setup\Setup.exe
ICON=Setup\Setup.ico
Q8: Is there any way to automatically remove files that were created after installation?
A8: The normal uninstaller removes only those files that were created by the installation and this behavior cannot be changed. You can, however, specify a custom uninstaller which can remove the files created after installation. You can download and use this custom uninstaller to do the job.
Q9: How can I customize (translate) the
messages shown in the beginning of the
installation?
A9: Starting from version 1.94,
these texts can be customized by creating specifically
named variables. For more information, see the "Special
variables" section under the "Variables" topic in the Astrum
InstallWizard help documentation.
