Robert, thanks for the reply, I understand if the silent install is processes by the logged on user, this should work. Do you think this will also assure that it will also run the app as the logged on user when it is installed with Group Plolicy or SMS, etc? I believe that kind tools run the package as NTAuthority or something different that the logged on user.

It was a suggestion (from QA) that it would be better not to be able click yes without scrolling to the end. I am not sure if there is a general legal requirement that users should reach to the end before they accept..? I would still like to know the proper way to report bugs and enhancement requests for other issues. Thanks

That registry data is undocumented, so you might consider using a different type of search or the APIs instead; but for information about how those codes are generated, please see for example KB article Q105971.

This should be a relatively simple thing to do. Instead it looks like I'm going to have to duplicate the custom action and make sure it runs properly for install, uninstall, rollback, etc. just to hide the window. The precompile option is awesome but I can't use it because the window isn't suppressed.

Found this link http://community.acresso.com/showthread.php?t=185492 So how is the language of the installation determined? Why does the installer display in the language set in Language for non-Unicode programs? Is this documented somewhere? Any input is appreciated guys! thanks!

Perhaps these variables are different from the usual ones as they don't show up if one runs set in the command prompt. But good point on the invalid characters. Ah well; it was worth a try.

Required Execution Level applies to manifests which are used in .exe files, so have no bearing for .msi files. There is a setting in General Information > Summary Information Stream "Require Administrative Privileges" which indicates whether the execute sequence needs elevation, but it does not work the same way. It elevates by also running as a system service. One option if you really need to enforce things would be to set a Launch Condition based on the AdminUser property in a project that sets MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION to 1. In general I would not recommend this; instead relevant custom actions should be set to run deferred in system context.

If you don't need to use the states of features from a previous product being upgraded, you can turn off Migrate Feature States. This should allow the new install to use its own states for the features.

You can add files and registry entries to Filters.xml in the \Support folder - the online help describes this process.

You can get a little closer to what Chris describes with the Best Practice Components option on the dynamic links, and by adding JAR to the list of file extensions InstallShield should consider as PE files (Tools > Options > File Extensions). If you do that, the dynamic link will create one component per jar file, and use a stable identifier. It won't handle the deleted jar case.

If you are using a Windows Installer-based project to distribute this file, Windows Installer will use its file-versioning rules, which will treat this file as unversioned (unless you use a companion file, or other table-based mechanisms to override this). In an InstallScript project, the file will also be treated as unversioned, so overwriting will follow the options you select.

Those characters are available in some locales, but not others, so we tend to avoid them. You may be able to use it in English, but it would fail in Japanese; if this is not a problem for you, go ahead and try it.
