Creating hyperlinks in Licence.rtf file
Hi, I have created a custom installer. In license textarea i am calling licence.rtf file. Now I want to show the hyperlinks in licence text area, So i used the [link]Privacy Statement[/link]in licence.rtf But this is not working and moreover if i write like www.google.com in .rtf file,it is showing the hyperlink, but on click nothing happens.
Wat i shud do in these scenarios.
You can't use [link], but you can just put in URLs and it'll automatically make those into links. If www.google.com doesn't work, try http://www.google.com.
I tried http://www.google.com.But it also doesn't work. What i am doin is I have a text like "Privacy Statement" and on that I am giving hyperlink to google.com for testing purpose. When I am running the custom installer, it is displaying link as Privacy Statement <http://www.google.com/>. It shud not display the hyperlink there as it is given on text. Moreover when I click on that link it doesn't works.
Are using Wordpad or Microsoft Word to save the RTF?
Stu
i am using Microsoft word
Try Wordpad. In fact, using Microsoft Word gives you a bigger rtf file which takes longer to load in my experiments.

I am using wordpad now, but the problem is like, when I click on hyperlink during installation, it deosn't open up
Sounds like a problem with your shell associations. What happens if you try to go to http://google.com in Start > Run?

It goes to google.com. I have tried many ways, but still the problem is there. If i use default pages then there is no problem. With custom licence page this problem comes!!
Seems that the custom license page does not have a rich edit control.
I am displaying License.rtf in a richedit control...still no success......
Make sure you put the full URL visible in the text. Not a hyperlink hidden behind another text.
