I currently use [Files] Flags: external
to import user data into my installation, which is working.
I now need to prompt for a specific external file during the installation.
Use case:
We install software that requires a license file (not to be confused with the license agreement). I want to prompt the user for their license file. Once they provide a file, it would be copied to the DestDir
.
I'm looking for a something like [Files] Flags: PromptForFile
or a routine that achieves the same. Has someone already solved this?
Use the CreateInputFilePage
function to a create custom wizard page to prompt a user for the license file.
Then, use a scripted constant to use the selected path as a source path in the [Files]
section.
[Files]
Source: "{code:GetLicensePath}"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: external
[Code]
var
LicenseFilePage: TInputFileWizardPage;
procedure InitializeWizard();
begin
LicenseFilePage :=
CreateInputFilePage(
wpSelectDir,
'Select License File Location',
'Where is your license file located?',
'Select where License file is located, then click Next.');
LicenseFilePage.Add(
'Location of license file:',
'License files|*.lic|All files|*.*',
'.lic');
end;
function GetLicensePath(Param: string): string;
begin
Result := LicenseFilePage.Values[0];
end;
TODO: You need to handle somehow a situation, when a user does not select any license file. Either don't allow to proceed (use the NextButtonClick
) or skip the file installation (use the Check
parameter).
