Printing the EULA
We would like to add an option to the License Agreement screen that allows the end-user to easily print the agreement. Currently, there is no option to print from within the installer. One can mark the text and use Control C to copy it and then paste it into a document and then print, but this is not obvious.

I suppose this print option could be added to any screen, but the one we are interested in is the License Agreement screen. Is anyone aware of a way to do this or a plug-in that supports this ability?

Thanks,

Jay

I've created a custom license page that allows me to print the EULA and disable the next button until the I Agree checkbox has been selected. However, when I try to use this approach on a project that uses a eula.rtf file for the license agreement, the license displayed on the screen is displayed in raw text format and is unreadable as a result. Does anyone know how to get around this other than saving the file in both .rtf and .txt formats in the version control system?

Another approach - I understand that MUI2 allows for displaying rtf text in the license page and have tried this, but I haven't been able to add a print button to this screen. I thought that the page custom functions PRE, SHOW and LEAVE could be used to help me add a button, but they don't seem to act on the actual page, just before or after. Is this correct? Can page custom functions PRE, SHOW and LEAVE actually affect a page directly?

The other option was to use Resource Hacker to add a button, but I did not understand from the link provided how this would be done. Any additional explanation would be appreciated.

You need to add the button using Resource Hacker (to UIs\modern.exe) and then use the ButtonEvent plug-in to get it to call a function on click. You'll need to then extract a copy of your RTF and then print it using ExecShell.
