Hi,
My setup has a few 'tasks'. But i want the user realize that even he doesn't select any task, there are still works to do by setup.
Mi idea was add a new task 'General' that could not be 'unchecked' so, the user sees that always are at less one selected task.
Is this possible?
Any other better workaround?
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand the need for a "mandatory" task. Additional tasks are designed to be something the installer might or might not do.

If it's mandatory, why ask the user in the first place?

As i said, there is no 'need'; but many users thinks that unchecking all options in setup screen, program will do nothing. So a line with no posible uncheck, will do the user be dure that has to go ahead with installation. Is psychologic if you want to call it this way.

Use [Components] instead? You can have always checked components.

... you may disregard/delete my post!

I found out that the reason was, that I stored the downloaded setup files on a RAM drive!

Kind regards

Hello Bill,

I posted a question in the forum about 8h ago. It is still not visible. 
Can that be, or did it get lost?

Regards
Steffen Wagner
