Afternoon everyone,

I'm kind new to this, so your patience is greatly appreciated.

My basic MSI project has a "Customer Information" dialog that was inserted into the project via the "Project assistant".

I'm trying to determine IF the information that is being asked for is actually being used somewhere in the rest of the installation.

I have identified the "properties" that are being populated by the response to the Customer Information dialog box.

I'm just not sure how to find which, if any, actions (standard or custom), actually "USE" the values associated with properties of the Customer Information dialog.

IE:
User Name (USERNAME)
Organization (COMPANYNAME)
Install this application for this user only or for all users. (ALLUSERS)

Any guidance, would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

ALLUSERS has a big impact on the registration of classes, and installation (of shortcuts) in the start menu and on the desktop.

USERNAME and COMPANYNAME are hardly used, but I believe the information can be obtained after installation.
