Programmatically set ARPNOMODIFY
I would like to allow the Add/Remove Programs (Programs and Features within Vista) Change button for all non-Vista machines, but not allow for all Vista machines.
Currently setting the "Disable Change Button" within IS2008 always overrides setting the ARPNOMODIFY property, no matter where I set it (within ExecuteSequence, and or a final CA within the InstallSequence).
After some trial-n-error, I can make the ARPNOMODIFY property stick, verifying this via the msi logfile... but the Registry(HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall...) will always state: NoModify = 1.
How can I programmatically set the ARPNOMODIFY via operating system flavor?

I haven't tried it, but does a conditional set-property custom action or two do the trick?
