Edit Final Screen

This page allows you to modify the settings for the Final screen dialog box. The latter should tell end users that the file extraction was successful. And this is generally the last dialog box shown to them.

The Final screen can be optionally displayed: if the "Do not display this dialog if the file extraction failed" option is turned on, then this dialog will be avoided if an error occurs during the file extraction.

Note for advanced users: if you want to display an error message if the file extraction failed, you can use custom actions to check the value of the %TOTALEXTFILE% variable. If the latter is equal to 0, then an error occurred.

It is possible moreover to add check boxes to this dialog box. These check boxes allow end users to decide whether they wish the package to execute some final tasks or not when it closes, such as "displaying readme" or "launching the application"... To enable the display of check boxes on this dialog, click here.

Finally Paquet Builder supports different versions for this dialog box depending on your choice for the interface theme.

Standard interface

It works with two fields; your end users can also press the Homepage button to see your Web homepage.

Text to display:
Please use this text box to enter the text that appears on the final screen. If you don't enter a custom text, this dialog will not be used at all.
Homepage URL:
It allows you to specify the homepage URL that will be displayed when end users click on the Homepage button. The default Web browser will be opened to this URL.
If you want to hide this Homepage, then enter #Blank in the field.

Tip: to put a carriage-return–line-feed between “Line 1” and “Line 2", use /$, like "Line1/$Line2".

Wizard interface

The final dialog displays a custom text (in rich text format) at the end: it should tell end users that the extraction was successful. It is similar to the final screen you find in the traditional windows 2000-like wizards.

It will look like the following screen shot except that the text will change and the Next button will be replaced by Close.

End users can only press Back to return to a previous screen or Close to exit.

To edit the text, press the Edit button and the Rich Text Pad editor will be opened.
To clear the text, press Clear.
To use a default end screen template, press Template and select the one you wish in the displayed menu list.

About creating multilanguage packages

Paquet Builder can create multilanguage packages: they are compiled with several different languages and then automatically translate the texts of their user interface in the more appropriate language at runtime (automatically determined or user-selected).

The End dialog can display in several languages: for each language you decide to compile into the package, you need normally to write a localized end rich text.

Use the language list to select the language in which you would like to edit the end text.

Some important notes about how this wizard dialog works:

If an end text is not available in the language selected by end users at runtime, the package will then use the one that was written for the default language.
If the end text of the default language is left blank, the End screen will be disabled (not shown to users) even if welcome texts for other languages are available! In fact the default language determines which wizard dialogs should be displayed to end users: be sure to first select the default language in the languages list page before you start writing end texts.
