Hi,

how to disbale the wizard controls (cancel button) while installation is in progress.

Here the requirment is i am creating a database using create process method. At this time i don't want to allow user for selecting the Cancel button. To do this i want to disable the Cancel button before starting the task and enable the button after completion of the task.

Can you please suggest me how can we make disable and enable the controls at run time.

Thanks a lot
Krishna

The only way you can do this is by adding code into a custom action to disable/enable the cancel button.

http://msdn.microsof...cessmessage.asp

Have a look at the INSTALLMESSAGE_COMMONDATA message. It shows you what fields to set to disable/enable the button.

Hi Luke,

Thanks a lot for your help.

For hiding the Cancel button at run time this is works fine.
Is there any way to disbale the Cancel button instead of hiding completely.

Thanks once again

There is no way to disable the button provided by windows installer. The only way to do this is to write your own dialog code.
