Hi,

When I tried to do a console installation "<exe> -i console" the console panels that appear only give an option to go to the next panel. I do not see any option for going to the previous panel or aborting the installation.

Is there any way we can do that ?

TIA,

Regards,
Debesh.

Yes, you can! :) Whenever you're prompted for input at a console you just type back for going back or quit for quitting.

hmm, it works !!
Thanks a lot !! :)

However, it does not give a good user experience :(

The panel just shows
"PRESS <ENTER> TO CONTINUE:"

The user has no idea how to go back or cancel the installation.

We have been using ISMP 11.5 till now and in it with every panel it had options something like :
"type 1 to go next, 2 to go back and 3 to cancel", that gave an idea to the user how to go about it.

Is it possible to change the prompt message to show the options like "back" and "quit" in IA 2010 ?
