Installer - Available Screens


 Empty form
     
An empty form to which form components can be added. By default, form components are layouted along the vertical axis, but you can use layout groups for greater flexibility. Form components with user input are bound to installer variables that can by referenced by other elements in the installer, for example by actions.
