How to hide the small initialization dialog, at runtime.

Installscript MSI proj, I wish to not have the small initialization dialog box come up during run time. I am aware that this property can be set under Releases, Setup.exe tab, however, some cases I want to see the dialog, and other cases I don't.

So, is there anyway I can suppress this dialog from the script?

Thank you.

{Edit} I forgot that the initialization dialog box runs well before the script is even read, so that answer to my question is obviously no. However, I am launching my install from an MFC application and I'm wondering if there is someway to achieve what I want from my MFC app. ?

Passing /hide_progress on the command line for setup.exe should suppress the initialization dialog and display all other dialogs.

Hi,

i used /hide_progress in a installscript project.It works fine but problem is the installation window gets minimized. i.e focus doesn't go to the installation window unless untill we go and manually maximize that window.
Any idea, how to handle this?

Thanks in advance.
