The component selection status is saved in the response.varfile file and I have the "Load a response file" action with "Overwrite existing" strategy.
However, on "Installation components" screen default selection is always shown. Should any additional steps be performed to use previous components selection during update?
I am using Install4j 6.1.6

I am trying to change the title/subtitle of default "Installation location" screen as provided by install4j. But i cannot find the section in title/subtitle configuration part. The title/subtitle part is available for other screens and can be changed there.
Is there any other way or API using which i can change the Title/Subtite?
Titles and subtitles of standard screens are not directly configurable, but you can override the messages.
On the General Settings->Languages step, set up a custom localization file, then open the built-in editor and click on the "Override messages" tool bar button. Search for the message you want to change and click on OK. Then you can change the text in the editor.
Using Install4j Version 7
In Pre-activation script for "Directory Selection Screen" I have added the Wizard Index and set Wizard index key
But when I see the Preview for Screen not able to see the Wizard index in Left Panel.
We have a requirement which will show the Wizard index which will show Installation progress. just like below image It will show the current step in bold.
The wizard index is only shown at runtime, not in the preview. This is because the wizard index is usually not set on the current screen, but on the first screen. Each screen that wants to change the active step just sets a new key for the wizard index. The preview mechanism in the install4j IDE has no concept of screen flow, so its opts not to display wizard indexes at all.
I have this problem and I have no idea how to get the Git section on the toolbar. The image below shows the specific error :
Thank you for all your answers!
In the "Action Set Availability" tick "Git" and "Git Navigation Actions"
Then in "Tool Bar Visibility" tick "Git"
This message has been introduced in Eclispe 4.4 (commit 427558b of eclipse/eclipse.platform.ui), replacing "command groups" by "action sets".
See "How do I make my action set visible?"
the user can always have the last say by customizing perspectives (Window > Customize Perspective).
From here, the user can turn on or off any action sets for the current perspective. This will override all the other mechanisms for defining action set visibility.
I've used install4j's GUI to set Installer -> Uninstaller -> Executable icon to a custom icon, but that icon is not used in Windows 8.1's "Programs & Features" screen. How can I make a custom icon appear here?
The "Register Add/Remove item" action has an "Icon" property for that purpose. That action is added by default on the "Installer->Screens & Actions" step, to the "Installation" screen of the installer.
Is there any event associated with Install Components Screen?
Something like Next button disabled initially, and upon selection of a component, Next gets enabled. I see this happening for the License screen. Why dont we have it for Installation Components screen?
You can execute arbitrary code by setting the "Selection script" property of the "Installation components" screen, for example to
context.getWizardContext().setNextButtonEnabled(true);
