InstallerBuilder Panels
This help page describes the built-in panels in installers generated by the InstallerBuilder.
The panels are presented in order of appearance in the installer. If a panel is disabled (either by default or by setting its 'active' option to false), then the installer proceeds to the next active panel.
General Panels
Welcome
This panel is a simple welcome window, which can contain an image or text. By default, it is active.
Validation
This panel requests that the user enter a code that is validated before installation continues. To validate the user code, you must specify a validate option (see InstallerBuilder Options).
In the validator procedure, you can access the user's input with the command ToolboxInstaller:-Data:-Get("validation_attempt"). For more information, see ToolboxInstaller:-Data.
By default, this panel is disabled.
License
This panel requests that the user accept a license agreement before continuing with installation. By default, it is disabled.
Is Network Installation
This panel asks the user whether to install the network or single-user version of the toolbox. Note: The network toolbox installation can be installed only with the network version of Maple.
You can access the user's selection afterwards using ToolboxInstaller:-Data:-Get("network_installation"). For more information, see ToolboxInstaller:-Data.
By default, this panel is disabled and the single-user version is installed.
Is System Installation
This panel asks the user to specify one of two locations on disk in which to install the toolbox: a local installation or a system installation.
A local installation corresponds to the directory maple/toolbox in the user's home directory, while a system installation corresponds to the directory toolbox in the Maple directory.
You can access the user's selection afterwards using ToolboxInstaller:-Data:-Get("system_installation"). For more information, see ToolboxInstaller:-Data.
By default, this panel is disabled and a local installation is performed.
Installation
This panel reports on the actual installation of the toolbox. It displays a summary of the files extracted and installed, and a status message indicating the success of the installation. By default, it is active.
Finish
This panel is a simple concluding window, which may contain an image or text. This is frequently used to indicate a successful installation and advise users on the use of the installed toolbox. By default, it is active.
Examples
Build a toolbox installer that installs only after the secret code "My Secret Code" has been entered by the user.
Build( "SampleToolbox", 'uninstaller' = false, 'author' = "Some Maple User", 'welcome' = ['text' = "Welcome to the SampleToolbox installer"], 'validation' = [ 'text' = "Enter the code below:", 'validate' = proc() local code; code := ToolboxInstaller:-Data:-Get("validation_attempt"); if code = "My Secret Code" then true else false end if; end proc ] );
