Currently I have constructed a custom dialog to prompt the user for the settings required for the installation. If this is an upgrade then I will have saved those settings in the registry and I obviously don't want to prompt the user/installer for those settings again. How do I bypass this dialog on an upgrade?
Thank you.

No. Just always do it: If the product is being installed for the first time, there won't be any registry values found. During an initial install or an upgrade, you want the registry values written back out. > How do I read these settings in an bypass the dialog prompt that is part of > the "normal" installation (<UI> and <UIREF>)?
