c# - How to customize the Error screen in an MSI installer? -

-

in vs 2008 setup/deployment project, there way add custom error dialog (or customize existing one) handle errors encountered during installation process?

if understand correctly:

not software but, can handle errors software's prerequisites cause errors of time. must first go location of prerequisite package file. normally, "c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.0a\bootstrapper\packages\". find package folder, move in, there folder named "en" , inside there xml file named "package.xml". open text editor , see:

    <installchecks>     <registrycheck property="dotnet35sp" key="hklm\software\microsoft\net framework setup\ndp\v3.5" value="sp" /> </installchecks>  <!-- defines how invoke setup .net framework redist --> <commands reboot="defer">     <command packagefile="dotnetfx35setup.exe"           arguments=' /lang:enu /passive /norestart'           estimatedinstalledbytes="30000000"           estimatedtempbytes="30000000">          <!-- these checks determine whether package installed -->         <installconditions>             <!-- indicates .net framework installed -->             <bypassif property="dotnet35sp" compare="valuegreaterthanorequalto" value="1"/>              <!-- block install if user not have admin privileges -->             <failif property="adminuser" compare="valueequalto" value="false" string="adminrequired"/>             <!-- block install on less windows xp sp2 -->             <failif property="versionnt" compare="versionlessthan" value="5.1.2" string="invalidplatformwinnt"/>              <!-- block install on w2k3 no service pack -->             <failif property="versionnt" compare="versionequalto" value="5.2.0" string="invalidplatformwinnt"/>              <!-- block install if platform ia-64 -->             <failif property="processorarchitecture" compare="valueequalto" value="ia64" string="invalidplatformarchitecture" />         </installconditions>          <exitcodes>             <exitcode value="0" result="success"/>             <exitcode value="1602" result="fail" string="usercancelled"/>             <exitcode value="1603" result="fail" string="generalfailure"/>             <exitcode value="3010" result="successreboot"/>             <defaultexitcode result="fail" formatmessagefromsystem="true" string="generalfailure" />         </exitcodes>      </command> </commands>  <!-- defines localizable string table error messages--> <strings>     <string name="displayname">.net framework 3.5 sp1</string>     <string name="culture">en</string>     <string name="adminrequired">administrator permissions required install .net framework 3.5 sp1. contact administrator.</string>     <string name="invalidplatformwinnt">installation of .net framework 3.5 sp1 requires windows xp sp2, windows 2003 sp1, windows vista, or later. contact application vendor.</string>     <string name="invalidplatformarchitecture">this version of .net framework 3.5 sp1 not supported on ia-64 operating system. contact application vendor.</string>     <string name="usercancelled">the user has cancelled installation. .net framework 3.5 sp1 has not been installed.</string>     <string name="generalfailure">a failure occurred attempting install .net framework 3.5 sp1.</string>     <string name="dotnetfx35sp1exe">http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=118076</string> </strings>

between "installconditions" tags, can add/remove conditions prerequisite's install.then between "strings" tags, can customize error messages.

function myclass() { //lots , lots of vars , code here. this.bar = function() { //do numerous enclosed myclass vars } this.foo = function() { alert('hello'); //don't enclosed variables. } } each instance of myclass gets own copy of bar , foo, why prototyped methods use less memory. however, know more memory use of inner methods. it seems obvious me (1) below must true. agree? not distinct myclass instances have own distinct copies of bar, must have own distinct copies of myclass enclosure. (or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

(in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
