The PUBLIC Properites passed across the client to server for a particular install should be logged. The problem is if you take the shortcut you are allowing *any* PUBLIC property through. Now you have to think about what every single PUBLIC property can do on the server side. Or you can just list the ones you need... <smile/>

It would be nice to know what may cause issues, and why. If the properties aren't used and don't affect the certain installers, then setting EnableUserControl=1 may work well for some developers.
