MSI Script contains three installation modes: Normal Installation, Administrative
Installation, and Advertisement Installation. Access these modes from the Installation
Mode drop-down list in MSI Script. They represent the actions that are performed
during each type of installation. They contain standard Windows Installer actions, dialog
