I have seen few install script msi apps wherein i cannot suppress the dialogs during installation using setp.iss or the command line parameters supplied .The snapshot wont work either with the packaging tool because the app installs the drivers. These dialogs are something outside the application dialog system. something like "your computer screen is going to turn black but it is not an error"which is nothing but an informational message.Can these type of messages be suppressed?
Thanks

What makes you think you can't snapshot driver installation? Are you using Wise Package Studio, by any chance?

Sooooooo...turn on the 'hardware registry' capture option and/or turn on SmartMonitor.

And regarding your original question: you probably won't be able to suppress these dialogs, but you could automatically dismiss them using a tool like AutoIt.

If this is coming from a dll custom action that runs as a pre-req check, you may be able to disable it by commenting out the custom action. This means that the whole action won't run, but sometimes that doesn't matter if the function call is only informational (which it probably is in this case).
Enabling hardware capture in wise may actually work, but it isn't very elegant, nor terribly reliable. And typically you end up with a lot of enum keys and other dynamically generated crap that you should NOT install.
And I second Stefan - AutoIt actually does work very well for what it does (sending keystrokes). I have used it 3 times I think, when there was no other acceptable solution.

Thank you all for your valuable response. I did use the Autoit script as the last resort and it worked!!.. Turning on the hardware registry keys did not help and i was left out with a huge number of enum keys which gave me the same results as earlier..Probably a thorough digging would have helped but as i said autoit did it for me.
Thanks again
