Install Options Display Problem
I am trying to call my installoptions dll 3 times within my intaller. My intaller seems to work but sometimes the window does not display correctly. The fields are still there and allow me to type into them but my labels are not displayed.

Any ideas anyone?


Are you trying to show them from .onInit?
If you are trying to show multiple IO pages, it might be easier to use MultIni4.


When i call IO.dll 3 times from within 1 section for some reason causes this problem to occur. Its very strange as i can run my compiled exe 5 times and 4 times it would appear correctly and the other it wouldn't. It also seems to get upset when you alt-tab a window infront of it then minimise it again.

Then only way i can seem to get it to work correctly is by moving my whole section into .onNextPage. Thanx to Dave Laundon's help advice.


Why don't you just use MultIni4? It is a lot easier.


Because after speaking to Dave Laundon who helped with the development of multini4 he said it was a little overkill. Just letting you no my findings incase anybody else came across the same bug.
