Creating Custom Wizard Pages Using the Build Your Own Page Feature

There may be instances in which you want to collect additional deployment information to be used in UDI. You must collect this additional information in the UDI Wizard using a custom wizard page. You can create custom wizard pages using the:

· Build Your Own Page feature. This feature allows you to create a custom wizard page for collecting deployment information without requiring you to write code or have developer skills. Use this feature if you need to collect basic information without advanced user interaction. For example, you cannot add any code or customize UI fonts using this feature.

· UDI SDK and Visual Studio. Use this SDK if you want to create an advanced, fully customized wizard page in Visual Studio for collecting deployment information. Although the UDI SDK allows you to create customized wizard pages, such as adding custom code or changing fonts, this method requires developer skills.

For more information on using the UDI SDK to create custom wizard pages, see Creating Custom UDI Wizard Pages in the User-Driven Installation Developers Guide.
