Setup - Welcome

Fields

The Welcome page displays introductory information about your application, in particular the following:

Application title and version

Displayed in a large font at the top of the page. The information is taken from the <AppTitle> and <AppVersion> variables, whose values you set in the Application title and Version fields on the Project page of your Tarma QuickInstall project.

Created by

Displays the name of the author or publisher, as defined by the <Company> variable that you set in the Company name field on the Project page of your Tarma QuickInstall project.

Web site

Displays the web site URL for the application or company, as defined by the <WebSite> variable that you set in the Web site URL field on the Project page of your Tarma QuickInstall project.

Email

Displays the email address for the application or company, as defined by the <Email> variable that you set in the Email address field on the Project page of your Tarma QuickInstall project.

Telephone

Displays the telephone number, as defined by the <Telephone> variable that you set in the Telephone field on the Project page of your Tarma QuickInstall project.

Copyright notice

Displays the copyright notice, as defined by the <Copyright> variable that you set in the Copyright notice field on the Project page of your Tarma QuickInstall project.

Wizard buttons

The buttons along the bottom of the page are the same for all wizard pages, so we'll explain them once here.

About...

Opens the About Tarma QuickInstall dialog with information about Tarma QuickInstall.

< Back

Returns to the previous wizard page, if any.

Next >

Moves to the next wizard page, if any. On some pages, this button has a different caption, but still basically the same function:

• Accept - On the Setup - License agreement page to indicate acceptance of the license agreement;
• Install - On the Setup - Installation options page to signal the start of the installation process;
• Finish - On the Setup - Installation completed and Setup - Installation cancelled pages to signal the completion of the installation process.

Cancel

Cancels the installation process. If the installation hadn't started yet (i.e., before the customer clicks Install on the Setup - Installation options page), Setup terminates without further ado. Once the installation process has started, the customer is asked for confirmation, then the installation process is aborted and the Setup - Installation cancelled wizard page appears. At this point, the customer can decide whether to roll back or to keep the (probably unusable) partial installation.

Actions

When the customer clicks the Next > button, Tarma QuickInstall's Setup program performs the following actions:

1. It checks the target system requirements if you defined any minimum target system requirements on the Installation - Requirements page. If the check fails, the following dialog is shown and Setup refuses to continue. At this point, the only recourse left to the customer is to cancel the installation process.
   
2. If running on Windows NT and if you checked the Require Administrator rights on the Installation page, Setup checks if the account under which it is running does indeed have the required Administrator rights. If it does not, Setup displays the following dialog and refuses to continue. At this point, the only recourse left to the customer is to cancel the installation process, log into a different user account and restart Setup, or restart the Setup program using the Run As Other User facility of Windows 2000 and later.
   

If the checks are passed, Setup then displays the first available page from the following:

• Setup - Important information
• Setup - License agreement
• Setup - Registration information
• Setup - Installation options
