I am trying to post a notice with a block of text right after the welcome but before the license agreement. I have this working as I want using a parameterGroup/infoParameter and using <insertAfter>welcome</insertAfter>, the only problem is that i am reading the textfile from my local filesystem, not from within the installer, so of course it won't work on another system.
How can i set a text variable that can be used by the installer either during the build phase, or access a text file that is part of the distribution well before components are loaded? This needs to accessed well before the components are selected, before the license agreement is accepted. i don't see any way to add a file out side of the components. setting an installer variable during the build process doesn't work, since the variable is not still defined when im running the installer. i could imagine embedding the text in the xml would work, but it is too long and may need to be updated separately, so that i not desirable. how can this be achieved?
