Question

You can display a read-only text information page to the user using an info parameter. You will have to include a section like the one below inside the parameterList section of your XML installer project file.

<infoParameter>
 <name>serverinfo</name>
 <title>Web Server</title>
 <explanation>Web Server Settings</explanation>
 <value>Important Information! In the following screen you will be asked to provide (...)</value>
</infoParameter>

This will create an installer environment variable called serverinfo that will contain the text displayed. You can later refer to the content of the variable using ${serverinfo}.

Attached file:

info.xml
