This article cannot be implemented in any project built with an Advanced Installer version lower than 9.3.

Youll need to develop your own custom action that sets the feature states using properties set in the installations User Interface.

When I originally created the dialog boxes I believe I selected them as a script based dialog box.

I did not select them as skinnable).

So is there a way to use any of the skins provided by InstallShield, even though I did not select the skinnable option(Thought:Is it possible for a dialog box to be both a script based dialog box and a skinnable dialog box).

I have about 6 Custom Script Based dialog boxes which I would like to skin.

However they were not created originally as Skinnable Dialog boxes.

So my question is still the following: Can Script Based Dialog box be skinned using the Skins provided by InstallShield.

Shield Custom Dialog Code That I

The only thing I saw in the code that I should use was the command Enable(USELOADEDSKIN).

My second approach within the same project was to create a skinnable dialog box as you suggested, and then I selected a skin from the Skins folder.

So as it stands I have not been able to apply one of the built in skins to the InstallScript project.

Do you know of anyone who has actually been able to use the skins in an InstallScript project If so, could you possibly consult with them on how to skin dialogs of the InstallScript type.

I will just plan on creating the skinnable dialog types rather than trying to convert them.
