I cant execute the end dialog correctly.

In the maintenancetype dialog there are 3 radiobuttons which has a property of _IsMaintenanceType. I have added another radiobutton on the dialog it has a value of Go..so on that dialog i have 4 radio buttons on the radio group

Modify = value: Change
Repair = value: Reinstall
Remove = value: Remove
RadioBUtton = value: Go

i want that if i select the RadioButton then click next i will call a CA then after the custom action is executed the dialog will exit..

I have done on the Next button.
Event = DoAction
Arguments = SampleCA
Condition = _IsMaintenanceType = "Go"

Event = EndDialog
Argument = Exit
Condition = _IsMaintenanceType = "Go"


is this the properway to handle this?

after the SampleCA is executed the SetupCompleteError showsup.

SampleCA has a code of only messagebox to check..

[Stefan Krueger]

Did you check the return value from your CA?

[haroldxious]

my CA is simply Calling a messagebox just for sample..

eventhough i will not call CA, EndDialog still doesnt seem to be functional..for example i only have..

Next Button(this is on maintenance type dialog)

Event = EndDialog
Argument = Exit
Condition = _IsMaintenanceType = "Go"

Still the dialog SetupCmpleteError dialog appears

[haroldxious]

is it not possible to end the maintenance type dialog upon selecting a certain radio button and clicking the next button?

thats what im trying to implement, and still having a hard time to figure it out..

pls help

Generate a log file to see where the error is coming from.

Above is the log file. When i select the radiobutton that has a value of go and has a condition of..

EndDialog - Exit - _IsMaintenance = "Go"

it calls the setupinterrupted dialog...

I dont know if this has something to do with the ProgressType property..because Modify, Reinstall and Remove radio button has a ProgressType Property value by default...

Not sure if that's the cause for the problem, but fix it and see if it helps:

[haroldxious]

still didnt work stefan..

can you suggest on how to end the dialog using enddialog exit when the next button is clicked in the maintenanceType dialog.

i just cant make it right..

[Stefan Krueger]

After re-reading your initial post: you are calling EndDialog with Exit which means user-exit, i.e. user canceled the setup. So what you see is expected behaviour. Maybe you want to use Return as argument instead.

[haroldxious]

using return as an argument shows like you are still installing...i want to have the behavior of the button FINISH on some dialogs...FINISH button when clicked exits the dialog...and the condition event for that button is enddialog - exit - 1...ive just copied the condition but for me its not working.....

any other workaround for this?

[Stefan Krueger]

Not sure, but I guess the Finish dialog is special because of its sequence number.
Maybe you could add a condition on all subsequent actions in your UI sequence so that they are not executed in the case where you want to end the install.
In any case the setup will end with one of the dialogs with negative sequence number, either success or user exit.
