HELP! Need to write a "user license agreement" control

Hi,

I am trying to write a simple installation program that
asks the user a few questions and then installs a
software application and its associate files based on
those answers.

I am new to VB, (usiing VB 6.0) and have figured out how
to do everything except for: I would like to read a
license agreement from a text file, display it in a
scrollable region on the screen, and provide an "Accept"
and a "Decline" button that the user can then click to
either continue with the applicaiton or exit.

Seems like a trivial (and very common) thing to want to
do, so I am hoping that someone can provide me with some
sample code that does this (or something similar to this)

Can anyone help me out?

thanks, bruce

Hi,

In the user interface view of the setup project right click on start
and select add dialog. Select license agreement from the available dialogs.
