Does anyone know if it's possible to both

I know, it sounds strange. Our legal department wants us to do this. I think it's because the license agreement is a pointer to a license for a server product, and anyone seeing the agreement is covered under the server license. Why they don't just leave it out entirely is something I don't know right now.
In any case, this requirement is what I have to work with at the moment.
Any information on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Maybe just include the license text in the main 'notes/description' panel, or have a separate panel just displaying the license text, and the user just hits Next to go past it?
Just to be painfully clear, you have two good choices: 1) Put the license in the ReadMe panel of the installer, perhaps after the rest of the readme file. 2) Write a custom installer plugin (trivial to do, but it can't be used in flat packages). I believe there's sample code that would only take a few minutes to adjust. You could theoretically put it in the Welcome panel of the installer, but people can't save/print that file, and if it's miles long it MIGHT cause display bugs on older systems. So the ReadMe panel is a better idea. There's also a conclusion panel, but you probably would not want to put it there because people wouldn't see it until after install, and that'd make them grumpy. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
