Installer that allows user input..?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Installer that allows user input..?

Hi guys,

I have tried a few of the installers about, such as InnoSetup, InstallJammer, CreateInstall4 etc, and as good as they are, they either be seeming to lack a feature I require, or I`m blind and can`t find it in any of them.

Now, I want an installer that will allow the user to enter some text into a input field, and then I need to be able to use this entry in my program.

ie. User installs program, gets asked for serial/authorisation/username or some piece of information which they enter into a text box, and then I need to be able to use this input to complete a path for my program.
Such as: c:\program files\myprog\inputtedText\content\
where "inputtedText" is what they have entered during the install.

Hope that makes sense, and hope someone can help.

Thanks guys!

Inno script is quite featured, have you tried looking at its references? I know it allows user to choose install paths and i believ it can use variables, so mabe theres a way of using a custom input too.

Yep, InnoSetup can do pretty much anything that InstallShield can do. Just need to read the docs to find out how.
