How to create two LicenseFile pages in Inno Setup


I'm making an Inno setup for my application. I'm using this command:

[Languages]
Name: "english"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Default.isl"; LicenseFile: "C:\Users\LocDaiLe\Desktop\license.txt"

to display a license agreement window, but I want two license agreement window right after each others. How can I archieve this - thank you


Solution

  • You have to code the second license page as a custom page.

    You can start with the CreateOutputMsgMemoPage function, which creates a page with a memo. Then, you just add radio buttons for accepting the license.

    [Files]
    ; Embed the second license files
    ; (the part after underscore must match the Name parameter from Languages section)
    Source: "license2_english.txt"; Flags: dontcopy
    Source: "license2_czech.txt"; Flags: dontcopy
    ; Other languages
    
    [Code]
    
    var
      SecondLicensePage: TOutputMsgMemoWizardPage;
      License2AcceptedRadio: TRadioButton;
      License2NotAcceptedRadio: TRadioButton;
    
    procedure CheckLicense2Accepted(Sender: TObject);
    begin
      // Update Next button when user (un)accepts the license
      WizardForm.NextButton.Enabled := License2AcceptedRadio.Checked;
    end;
    
    function CloneLicenseRadioButton(Source: TRadioButton): TRadioButton;
    begin
      Result := TRadioButton.Create(WizardForm);
      Result.Parent := SecondLicensePage.Surface;
      Result.Caption := Source.Caption;
      Result.Left := Source.Left;
      Result.Top := Source.Top;
      Result.Width := Source.Width;
      Result.Height := Source.Height;
      // Needed for WizardStyle=modern / WizardResizable=yes
      Result.Anchors := Source.Anchors;
      Result.OnClick := @CheckLicense2Accepted;
    end;
    
    procedure InitializeWizard();
    var
      LicenseFileName: string;
      LicenseFilePath: string;
    begin
      // Create second license page,
      // with the same labels as the original license page
      SecondLicensePage :=
        CreateOutputMsgMemoPage(
          wpLicense, SetupMessage(msgWizardLicense), SetupMessage(msgLicenseLabel),
          SetupMessage(msgLicenseLabel3), '');
    
      // Shrink license box to make space for radio buttons
      SecondLicensePage.RichEditViewer.Height := WizardForm.LicenseMemo.Height;
    
      // Load license
      // Loading ex-post, as Lines.LoadFromFile supports UTF-8,
      // contrary to LoadStringFromFile.
      LicenseFileName := 'license2_' + ActiveLanguage + '.txt';
      ExtractTemporaryFile(LicenseFileName);
      LicenseFilePath := ExpandConstant('{tmp}\' + LicenseFileName);
      SecondLicensePage.RichEditViewer.Lines.LoadFromFile(LicenseFilePath);
      DeleteFile(LicenseFilePath);
    
      // Clone accept/do not accept radio buttons for the second license
      License2AcceptedRadio :=
        CloneLicenseRadioButton(WizardForm.LicenseAcceptedRadio);
      License2NotAcceptedRadio :=
        CloneLicenseRadioButton(WizardForm.LicenseNotAcceptedRadio);
    
      // Initially not accepted
      License2NotAcceptedRadio.Checked := True;
    end;
    
    procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
    begin
      // Update Next button when user gets to second license page
      if CurPageID = SecondLicensePage.ID then
      begin
        CheckLicense2Accepted(nil);
      end;
    end;
    

    For a generalization of the solution that allows adding any number of license pages, see:
    Add 4 license pages in Inno Setup


    Original (first) license page:

    License 1

    Coded (second) license page:

    License 2
