The SetupWizard guides the user through the installation. It provides tools for several purposes.

Create

var setupWizard = SetupWizard(InstallationType.APPS, applicationName, miniature);

or

var setupWizard = SetupWizard(InstallationType.ENGINES, applicationName, miniature);

The miniature can be retrieved like:

var appsManager = Bean("repositoryManager");
var application = appsManager.getApplication(["Applications", "Development", "Notepad++"]);
var miniature = application.getMainMiniature();

Presentation

setupWizard.presentation(application, editor, applicationHomepage, scriptAuthor);

License

setupWizard.licenceFile(message, filePath);

Message + license text:

setupWizard.licence(message, licenseText);

Show a message

To show a message and wait until the user clicks “Next”:

setupWizard.message(message);

Query user input

Text

Query text:

var userText = setupWizard.textbox(message);

Show a menu with items to select from:
