Yes. If your IA project does not have them, then you need to add similar console panels.
If you are using IA 2008 Enterprise, the typical template will generate console panels automatically.

When you click Add Action in the Pre-Install task, for example, there should be a Consoles tab where you add the console dialogs you want (see figure below).
You'll also want to make sure "Console" is selected in Installer UI > Look & Feel; and you can change the default UI type for some platforms in Project > Platforms > platform...

I believe non-panel actions will run in any mode (GUI, console, or silent), so there should be no need to duplicate them.

But for Custom Panels you will need to implement equivalent Custom Consoles...

ok... so it means only panels (Wether provided by IA or customised by me ) needs to be duplicated in IA......and nothing beside that?I mean the custom rules and actions in GUI ?Bcoz we do have a set of diff IA API's for console as well....so was thinking wether my original rules and actions(both IA based and custom code ) will work on in console mode or not?
