Self-Extractor Texts Dialog

Use the Texts button in the Self-Extractor Settings dialog to open the Self-Extractor Texts dialog. In this dialog, you can specify the text for the optional message box and the main dialog of the self-extracting archive.

Message Box

The Self-Extractor can display a message box before unpacking starts. Unpacking continues only if the user presses the OK, Yes, or I Agree button.

If you don't want to display this message box, leave both the Title and Message fields empty.

Note: I Agree + I Disagree buttons can be used only with the Long Message message box type.

Main Dialog Box

You can customize the text in the main dialog of the self-extracting archive: the title, the text displayed in the dialog, the Extract button, the vendor name, and the web link. Use the Preview SFX Dialog Box command from the View menu in the Self-Extractor Settings dialog to see the main dialog with your own text.
