Display Prompt Messages

Paquet Builder can display standard Windows message boxes to your end users at two key moments: before extraction begins and after it completes. These are simple Yes/No or informational prompts — leave the fields blank to disable them.

Display Prompt Messages page in Paquet Builder

Shown immediately after the user launches your package, before any extraction takes place. The user must click Yes to proceed or No to cancel.

Typical example:

This will install My Application 1.0./$Do you want to continue?

Start prompt message box at runtime

This is useful to give users a clear confirmation step before files are extracted to their machine.

Line breaks

Use /$ to insert a line break in the message text. For example: Line 1/$Line 2.

Resource strings

Click the button next to each text box to insert a resource string for multilanguage support.

Variables

Include variables like %APPTITLE% — they are replaced at runtime with their actual values.

Custom messages

Need more than two prompts, or conditional logic? Use custom actions to display additional message boxes at any point during execution.
