    Custom Dialog Checkbox must be checked and unchecked to set value!?!

    Hi,

    I've got a stoopid issue on my part. I made a custom dialog for a Basic MSI installer and it has one checkbox. The box alwys displays checked when the dialog launches and I use a property of IS_IT_CHECKED. The default fo IS_IT_CHECKED is 1 in the property table.

    ISSUE:
    Even though the box is checked, and I have preset the value to 1 in the property table, I MUST uncheck, and check the box again to make it recognize IS_IT_CHECKED=1 as a condition.

    QUESTION:
    How can I default the checkbox to false?
    I do not understand AddLocal and it is giving me headaches.

    Any suggestions/comments are very welcome.

    Best ...

    To have the check box unchecked by default, you can delete IS_IT_CHECKED from the Property Manager (Property table).

    Perhaps see this ancient newsletter tip: http://www.flexerasoftware.com/webdo.../PDF/check.pdf.
