[izpack-users] Asking permission to overwrite a file before running a script.

[Scott Taylor]

Hej Fabrice,

I'm currently running the SQL script using an execute tag in the pack 
where I install Firebird. With Firebird you can do the following "CREATE 
DATABASE 'c:\myFolder\myDatabase.fdb'", and it will create a new empty 
database in the file location specified. You can then connect using 
"CONNECT 'c:\myFolder\myDatabase.fdb'". In other words I know exactly 
where to look for the file, so a search isn't necessary. However I was 
hoping that there might be a way to do it without having to create my 
own custom panel. Based on your feedback I guess I will have to do #1, 
or #2, since I want a graphical prompt.
