Ask User for a Choice

Displays a dialog box that lets you ask end users to select between two options (radio boxes). For instance, if they want to install a shortcut on the desktop. You can also use the result of the question for a conditional if/then/else action.

The package shows a dialog box displaying the value of “PromptText” (the question) with two radio boxes.

Initial states of the two radio boxes are set according to the value of ChoiceVariable. If the variable mentioned in ChoiceVariable is set to “1”, the first radio box will be checked. Otherwise, it is unchecked and the second one will be checked.

If the end user selects the Cancel button, the package closes.

You can use a goto label statement to check whether end users have entered correct information: click here for an example.
