2009-06-08 Thread Brooke Philpott
You have to use a bootstrapper with an embedded manifest that launches the MSI to do that. I think it's considered best practice to let the dialog come before the file copy as it does by default. -Brooke -Original Message- From: sandun css [mailto:sandun...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, June
