Hi,

when I start my setup the second time, a dialog "welcome" (sdWelcomeMaint, 12053) appears with which I can choose to change, repair or delete my programm.

How can I remove this dialog from my setup-programm?
(IS 6.3)

Thanks for help, Ute

There are two possible reasons I can think of why this is occuring.
1) You're welcome screen code is contained in the OnBegin() function.  If that's the case, move the dialog boxes to OnFirstUIBefore().  That function is called only the first time (It's replaced with OnMaintUIBefore() after that).

2) Or both the OnFirstUIBefore() and OnMaintUIBefore() contain the same code.  Ergo, remove the dialog boxes from OnMaintUIBefore().

Code Sample

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // //  FUNCTION:   OnMaintUIBefore // //  EVENT:      MaintUIBefore event is sent when end user runs installation that //              has already been installed on the machine. Usually this happens //              through Add/Remove Programs applet. In the handler installation //              usually displays UI allowing end user to modify existing installation //              or uninstall application. After this function returns, //              ComponentTransferData is called to perform file transfer. // /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// function OnMaintUIBefore()    NUMBER  nResult,nSetupType, result, digital, analog;    STRING  szTitle, szMsg, szLicenseFile, szQuestion;    STRING  svName, svCompany, szDir, szfolder;    STRING  szComponents, szTargetdir, szBmpPath;    NUMBER  nLevel, nOpResult, nvSize, nvType;      LIST listButtons, listDesc;          BOOL bvCheckC1, bvCheckC4, bDone, bIsP2;    STRING szSetupType, szTargetPath, szTextC1, szTextC4;    STRING szKey, szClass, tempstring, sSQLService; STRING szDialogName, d, a, dll, szText, szPath; HWND    hwndDlg, hwndItem; begin if CMDLINE = "" then BeforeInstall();      ComponentReinstall(); else bRemove = 1;   SdShowMsg ("Executing procedures for removal of StoreVision 2.3", TRUE);   StopDAS();         StopServices();                DeleteDir ( TARGETDIR ^ "InstallLog" , ALLCONTENTS );                if (Is(FILE_EXISTS, "E:\\StoreVision\\StoreVision.mdf")) = TRUE then     szPath = WINSYSDIR; ChangeDirectory(szPath); if (bIsWindows2000 = TRUE) then SdShowMsg ("Deleting Databases from SQL Server.", TRUE); _LaunchAppEx(szPath + "\\DropDatabase.bat", "", WAIT, SW_HIDE, -1, nResult); Delay (5); SdShowMsg ("Deleting Databases from SQL Server.", FALSE);   else LaunchAppAndWait(szPath + "\\DropDatabase.bat", "", WAIT); endif; endif;   RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);    szKey = "SOFTWARE\\Controlled Access\\StoreVision";    RegDBGetKeyValueEx(szKey, "InstallationDirectory", nvType, szInstallDir, nvSize); ComponentRemoveAll(); endif; end;

That's a copy of my code.  If the command line is blank it goes through a reinstall, else it removes everything (and deletes the db's)

Hope this helps

If you mean the maintenance screen included by the project wizard, go to OnMaintUIBefore(), and replace this:

            Disable(BACKBUTTON);
nType = SdWelcomeMaint(szTitle, szMsg, MODIFY);
Enable(BACKBUTTON);

with this:
           nType=REMOVEALL;

This will make it so your program automatically moves to uninstall when setup.exe is launched a second time.
