Deleting Installation Dialogs

See Also

By default, Microsoft^® Visual Studio^® Installer includes several pre-formatted installation dialogs in a new installer project. You can also add additional installation dialogs. All the installation dialogs included in your installer project are displayed to users when they install your product.

If you do not want to display certain dialogs during the installation procedure, you can simply delete them from the installer project.

You can delete all the installation dialogs Visual Studio Installer provides so none of them are displayed to the user during installation. However, certain Microsoft^® Windows^® installer basic installation dialogs will still be presented to your user. The Windows installer presents these basic dialogs as a part of every installation.

To delete dialogs from the product installation

1. In the Project Explorer window, expand the Target Machine node under your installer project.
   
   
2. Double-click User Interface in the Target Machine node.

   The User Interface editor is displayed.

3. In the User Interface editor, right-click the dialog you want to delete from the product installation.

   Note   You can delete dialogs from both a local installation and a network installation. Local installation dialogs are listed under the Install Dialogs heading; network installation dialogs are listed under the Network Install Dialogs heading.

4. Select Delete from the context menu.

   The selected dialog is deleted from the installer project and no longer displayed in the User Interface editor. It will not be shown to your users when they install your product.
