How to enable/disable dialog controls at run time

[mirza]

I am building an installer package that needs to create Windows service either user system log in account or username/password given by user (as in attached image).

1. I need to disable username/password text input controls as per radio button selection (disable them on 'Use System Account' and enable them on 'Enter Credentials'). Should be fairly easy thing but as I am beginner so not getting it done.

2. Secondly, I need to pass this user input (if given) to the service to be created

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

1. I need to disable username/password text input controls as per radio button selection (disable them on 'Use System Account' and enable them on 'Enter Credentials'). Should be fairly easy thing but as I am beginner so not getting it done.

You can enable and disable the Password and User Name fields through their Control Conditions. Also, I've attached a sample project that implements this scenario.

2. Secondly, I need to pass this user input (if given) to the service to be created

To install a service for a user, please follow the steps from the How to install a service for a custom user? article.

Should there be any difficulties you encounter implementing something, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will gladly assist you.

Best regards,
Dan

For those who need extra information. Following is easiest way to pass username and password while creating service.

Where [USER_NAME] and [USER_PASSWORD] are the text filed properties.
