Complicated Installer Project
I have a project that may be waaay over my head and experience with InstallShield.
My boss wants (that always signals a great story)...
MSI starts
Over complicated for an MSI? Can anyone get me in the right direction to complete this? Any ideas are appreciated.

MSI starts
Detects if Program is Installed
Install if it is not installed. - Suppress reboot.
- Create a local user
Add the local user to the administrators group
- Modify Registry to autologin as the new user.
- Reboot
- Login as the new local user
- Resume the install
- Install the other pieces of the program.
- Remove the local user from Administrators group.
- Reboot

I guess the first part would be the easiest to carve out of this installer project.
How do I check if Program A is already installed as a prerequisite?
Install Program A if it is not installed instead of ending halting the installer.

I used the Prerequisite Editor to create a Prerequisite installation condition.
Followed a tutorial located here.

Onto the next step - Create a Local User Account and make that user an Administrator.
