MSI File
Is there a way to bypass the different dialog install windows and have the install program directly do the install. The user does not need to change the TARGETDIR. I am trying to minimize the amount of click and user interaction during install process.
thanks

In a VS Net deployment project you can open 'User Interface Editor' designer, and delete all the leafs in Install->Start,Progress,En d nodes
look for a silent installation option (if any) that will do the trick....
You can run the msi on the command line by using msiexec command. Depending on how the msi was built, you might be able to use the /quiet option on msiexec command to avoid user interaction. For more information on the msiexec you can do msiexec /? to find out all the options.

sumix, I like your approach. I didnt know you can delete the all the leaf nodes. Do you know of any documentation on this. Once you delete all the nodes, what determines the process flow. Do you have a sample setup project I can take a look at?
