NOTE : Because as always, my provider host restrict usage of phps syntax colorize file , i've created little src.... script with hilight_file function To have more matter for discussion, here are the core code of my package (58 kb) http://farell.free.fr/en/pear/sources/srcSetupWizard.php And the base of Element form: (18kb) http://farell.free.fr/en/pear/sources/srcdbcreate.php Which could be extended as for example with the DBcreate step : (7kb) http://farell.free.fr/en/pear/sources/srcdbcreate.php On this step you'll create the DB schema with MDB manager YES i know , i need to clean code and remove some debug functions and perharps more ! So it's not the final result until end of my tests especially on CSS presentation; Until now i have a perfect render with IE, but i 've to make some changes to run with Mozilla, Netscape, Opera ! > I have questions about HTML_SetupWizard although.

Of course, and i hope the element.php and dbcreate.php extends is a perfect example ( i think).

I think my SetupWizard solution as 2 sides: - 1 to build easely a pre-set install package with common step as DBcreate, UserAccount, - 2 A standalone solution where you design your own screen (element.php extends) and do what you want I hope to have anwsered to your questions Laurent Laville
