Launch program default enable Installshield - installshield

I have installshield project with launch program at the end .
But the checkbox is unchecked default. but i need to check the checkbox by default.
Thanks

By default the checkbox (launch program) on the setup complete dialog will not be selected. To select it automatically add the property LAUNCHPROGRAM to the property table and set it to a value of '1'.

How to stop backgrounddownload exe

As per attached screen shot BackgroundDownload.exe is running in background and consuming lots of internet data. How it can be stopped?
This however does not stop VS from recreating BackgoundDownload.exe in 'random' temp directories and trying again. There must be some other missed option. Perhaps disabling the scheduled task in 'task scheduler' would finalize the change.
Through control panel, or other means,
open 'Task Scheduler'. in the navigation pane on the left side, navigate to
"Task Scheduler Library>Microsoft>VisualStudio>Updates"
when there, you will see a task named 'BackroundDownload'
Right click on this task and either disable, or delete it.
Please check if its checked “Automatically download updates” in VS2019?
Uncheck it.
Tools->Options->Environment->Product Updates->Automatically download updates
The same update process initiated by from Visual Studio Code. You can disable it via settings menu (and do not forget to uncheck sending telemetry)
It's possible to turn background downloading off for all installed Visual Studio products by creating/changing a registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup\BackgroundDownloadDisabled = 1

Please go to your connectivity setting I mean I am using my hotspot from mobile.
go to your wifi icon on windows 10.
then select properties and it will take you to another screen.
there is toggle switch called metered connection. select it .
That's it if wants to download also it cannot.
As a default windows does not allow you to download any updates in background.
You can do it when you are want. .[Step 2][2]
there is another way
Open Windows Defender Firewall With Advanced Security from the search next to Start
Then click on (( Outbound Rules -> New Rules ))
Now a new page will open, click ( Program ), then click (Next)
Now click on (This Program Path)
And enter this URL :
(%ProgramFiles% (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\ServiceHub\Services\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Setup.Service\BackgroundDownload.exe)
Now click Next again and select Block The Connection on this page and click Next again
Do not touch anything on this page (Profile) and click on Next
Finally, select a name in the (Name) field and write a series of descriptions if needed

How to select a check box in a dialog box that pops open when mounting a drive?

I'm trying to launch a dialog box with a checkbox already selected, but no amount of research is showing me how to do this. Included is my script that brings up the dialog box:
mount volume "smb://xyz-server/user-share/servervolume"
mount volume "smb://xyz-server/useradmin-share/servervolume"
There is no checkbox dialog in Applescript's Standard dialogs. You can use a Choose from List here, perhaps? Something like:
property serverList : {"smb://xyz-server/user-share/servervolume", "smb://xyz-server/useradmin-share/servervolume"}
set serverChoice to (choose from list serverList with prompt "Please select the volume(s) to mount" default items (item 1 of serverList) OK button name {"Mount"} cancel button name {"Cancel"} with multiple selections allowed)
repeat with thisPath in serverChoice
tell application "Finder"
mount volume thisPath
end tell
end repeat
Yea sorry, but there is no checkbox featured in simple AppleScript dialog boxes, etc, but you could use a dialog box with custom buttons eg.
set isOver13 to the button returned of (display dialog "Are you 13 or older?" buttons {"Cancel", "No", "Yes"})
(returns "Yes" or "No" for the button selected)
or like "jweaks" said, you could also use something like choose from list, eg.
set isOver13 to item 1 of (choose from list {"Yes", "No"})
(returns "Yes" or "No" for the item choosen)
but if you desperatly want to use a checkbox then, there is 1 other way :-o
you will need to cross over to cocoa-applescript (ASObjC), this is basicly the next step in applescript coding, ASObjC is pretty much Objective-C actions, commands etc... but in AppleScript coding language :o. To do this, you need to get Xcode, and look up AppleScript Objective-C tutorials ;)
Hope this Helped :D
The window belongs to the process NetAuthAgent, you can click the checkbox only with GUI scripting.
tell application "System Events"
repeat until exists window 1 of process "NetAuthAgent"
delay 0.2
end repeat
tell process "NetAuthAgent"
click checkbox 1 of window 1
end tell
end tell

how to select radio buttons option while uninstalling in windows

I want to uninstall a software in windows using chef .While uninstalling ,there are 2 radio buttons , one for modify and other for remove .By default modify is selected , but my requirement is to select remove option.
How to do so .. ??
Can anyone help me out in this issue.
I tried doing the below method.
windows_package 'Some software' do
action :remove
end
What you see on the GUI is not necessarily the "phrase" you need. If you look at the documentation for windows_package, you will see that the action you want is remove.
windows_package 'Whatever' do
action :remove
end

how to show EULA during upgrade using installshield

the EULA window is enabled through the Interview panel in Installshield 2011, and it works fine when installing the program first time. However, it won't show in the dialog sequence when we do the upgrade.
I guess it is a default behaviour in Installshield, is it possible to show it all the time? is it wise to do so?
You can Launch Eula window (License Agreement dialog) or custom dialog anytime you want.
When upgrade, launch Eula Dialog from NextButton on SetupResume Dialog, move another conditions to Next Button Eula Dialog, if using License Agreement dialog you must add another conditions "Not Installed" to old Eula Dialog conditions
Next Button Events For License Agreement Dialog will be like this:
Event: NewDialog,
Argument: LicenseAgreement,
Condition: Not Installed
Event: EndDialog,
Argument: Return,
Condition: OutOfNoRbDiskSpace <> 1 AND Installed
Next Button Events For SetupResume Dialog:
Event: NewDialog,
Argument: LicenseAgreement,
Condition: 1
I ran into this problem rather recently with InstallShield 2014, and was having a hard time getting the EULA to pop up on the automagic upgrade path even when adding it to the Next button of the SetupInitialization dialog.
I did find a way to make it happen though:
Go into the Behavior and Logic group, select Custom Actions and Sequences. Expand Sequences > Installation > User Interface.
You can right-click and Insert objects into here. From the Insert Action dialog, select Dialogs in the first dropdown. Then select the EULA-displaying dialog (LicenseAgreement in my case). That will insert it into the UI portion of the Installation Sequence.
From there, you can drag it to where you need it. I dropped it in right after SetupInitialization, but you can also drag it down to just after the PatchWelcome / InstallWelcome / SetupResume / MaintenanceWelcome UI components.
If you do this, you'll want to go to your InstallWelcome dialog (normal installation) and make sure that you skip the EULA there in order to avoid showing it twice. Setting the target to ReadyToInstall (the next step of the LicenseAgreement in my case) allowed me to do that.
That said, doing this means that the EULA will come up every time the installer runs. Ensure that this is what you really want to do.

Add AskPath Dialog Installshield

How could I make prompt of the AskPath Dialog in my Installshield project ?
I explain :
When the user select Custom install, he could select the features and the destination path. But when he clicks the default install, it will install the progam to the default location. How could I make the 'Selection destination path' visible/prompt even the user select the default install ?
Thank you.
You would need to tweak the Next button control's event. Depending on various conditions, the next dialog is appropriately chosen. Modify the NewDialog control event to the argument "DestinationFolder", for the condition corresponding to "Default" install option.
