Installation - Readme page

The Tarma Installer 2 Installation - Readme page served to specify the text for the installer's Readme Information dialog box. In Tarma ExpertInstall, all dialog boxes are fully configurable and you can add any number of informational dialog boxes that you like. The predefined ReadmeDlg dialog box on the Installer Dialogs project page is normally used for this purpose, but you can change this as required. The actual texts are stored separately as Rich Text resources on the Rich Texts project page.

Tarma Installer 2 Readme texts are converted as follows when you open a Tarma Installer 2 project in Tarma ExpertInstall:

  1. Each Readme text variant is converted to a Rich Text resource. In Tarma Installer 2, the Readme variants were used to supply different Readme texts for different languages.
  2. The RTF name attribute of the MainText RichText control in the predefined ReadmeDlg on the Installer Dialogs project page is set to the name of the converted Rich Text resource. If the Tarma Installer 2 project contained language-specific Readme texts, then the RTF name attribute is localized and the various translations of the Readme text are entered for the corresponding languages.
