TIXMSG_INIT_REGISTRATION

Allows the extension DLL to initialize its customer registration information. Before this message is sent, InstallMate has already initialized the various fields as follows:

1. The initial (build-time) values of the UserField1, UserField2, and UserField3 variables are resolved and stored in a TixRegistrationInfo record.
2. For those fields configured on the User interface project page, their values are read from the registry. If a field does not appear in the registry, its initial value is retained.
3. The TIXMSG_INIT_REGISTRATION is sent to the extension DLL.
4. The values of the UserField1, UserField2, and UserField3 variables are updated from the TixRegistrationInfo record sent to the extension DLL.

Action scheduling

This message is sent by the LoadCustomerInfo standard action; its scheduling depends on the action sequences used by the installer.

Parameters

pExtra

Pointer to TixRegistrationInfo record with the fields set as documented above.

Result code

If this message is handled, pMessage->lResult must be set to one of the following result codes:

• TIXRET_SUCCESS = Initialization complete
• TIXRET_NOREGISTRATION = No registration is required. Use this result code to dynamically suppress the customer registration wizard page and further registration handling, for example if the TIXMSG_INIT_REGISTRATION handler detected a prior registration and does not need to query the customer again. If your handler returns this result, all customer registration actions, including TIXMSG_CHECK_REGISTRATION and TIXMSG_APPLY_REGISTRATION, are suppressed for the remainder of the session.
• One of the TIXRET_xxx error codes
