I am trying to use the idea from Inno Setup - How to hide certain filenames while installing? (FilenameLabel)
The only sure solution is to avoid installing the files, you do not want to show, using the [Files] section. Install them using a code instead. Use the
ExtractTemporaryFile
andCopyFile
functions
But the files that I want to hide are using in the [Run]
Section:
[Files]
Source: "_Redist\DXWebSetup.exe"; DestDir: "{tmp}"; Flags: deleteafterinstall
[Run]
Filename: "{tmp}\DXWebSetup.exe"; Components: DirectX; StatusMsg: "Installing DirectX..."; \
BeforeInstall: StartWaitingForDirectXWindow; AfterInstall: StopWaitingForDirectXWindow
How to hide (while installing, in filenamelabel) using [Files]
section, ExtractTemporaryFile
and CopyFile
functions?
The easiest is to give up on the standard [Files]
and [Run]
sections and code everything on your own in the CurStepChanged
event fuction:
[Files]
Source: "dxwebsetup.exe"; Flags: dontcopy
[Code]
procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
var
ProgressPage: TOutputProgressWizardPage;
ResultCode: Integer;
begin
if CurStep = ssInstall then { or maybe ssPostInstall }
begin
if IsComponentSelected('DirectX') then
begin
ProgressPage := CreateOutputProgressPage('Installing prerequsities', '');
ProgressPage.SetText('Installing DirectX...', '');
ProgressPage.Show;
try
ExtractTemporaryFile('dxwebsetup.exe');
StartWaitingForDirectXWindow;
Exec(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\dxwebsetup.exe'), '', '', SW_SHOW,
ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode);
finally
StopWaitingForDirectXWindow;
ProgressPage.Hide;
end;
end;
end;
end;
This even gives you a chance to check for results of the sub-installer. And you can e.g. prevent the installation from continuing, when the sub-installer fails or is cancelled.
Then it's easier to use the PrepareToInstall
instead of the CurStepChanged
.
Another option is to display a custom label, while extracting the sub-installer.
