Updates in 2025 R2

Funktionen

• Support for Hyperlinks in License Agreement Dialog - Previously, the SdLicenseEx and SdLicense2Ex InstallScript dialog functions could not support the hyperlinks inclusion in the rich text file (.rtf) of the license agreement. In InstallShield 2025 R2, both InstallScript dialog functions now support the hyperlinks inclusion in the license agreement rich text file. With this enhancement, at run time end users can now click a required hyperlink displayed in the License Agreement dialog to launch or open the defined link target. The hyperlink support also allows you to provide end users to direct access to external resources, such as detailed license terms, company websites, or related documentation, directly from the license agreement rich text file displayed by the SdLicenseEx or SdLicense2Ex function.
• Support for Customer Experience Improvement Program to Collect Telemetry Data - InstallShield 2025 R2 introduces a new tab Quality on the Options dialog box in the Tools menu. The Quality tab allows you to configure your participation in the Customer Experience Improvement program for InstallShield. When you opt or configure to participate in this program, you may be invited to accomplish a brief 5-minutes survey pertaining to your InstallShield User Interface usage. After survey completion, all usage data - collected through the Customer Experience Improvement program - is securely transmitted to and processed by Revenera, a division of Flexera Software LLC. This program is designed to help Revenera team improve the InstallShield reliability, performance, and user experience through the collection of anonymous and telemetry usage data.
• Automatic Selection of 'I Accept the Terms in the License Agreement' Option via Mouse Scrolling - InstallShield 2025 R2 introduces a support for automatically selecting the I accept the terms in the license agreement option on the License Agreement dialog box once the end user reaches the end of the End-User License Agreement (EULA) text in the scrollable EULA control through mouse scrolling. By default, this automatic selection is not enabled. To enable this functionality, you must configure a SetProperty event on the Memo (ScrollableText) control of the LicenseAgreement dialog. Once configured, the installer automatically checks the I accept the terms in the license agreement option when the end user reaches the bottom of the EULA text through mouse scrolling, allowing the Next button to be enabled.
