Help to Edit MSI to disable startup with windows.

I am editing an older MSI file (Cornerstone Big Monitor 3.0) and require it to be rolled out so as not to start up automatically everytime a user logs on.

MSCONFIG shows the startup item as 'BigMonitor Software' and the command item is 'IMassist.exe' located in the corresponding program directory.

Where can I find this in ADMIN Studio to set it. I assume it's a simple yes/no answer somwhere, but I haven't been able to find it.

Well, this isn't something native to an MSI package, so I would check the Registry view for keys like:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

...or a shortcut in one of the following locations:

Start Menu\Programs\Startup

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
