About the Wizard Dialogs

Windows Installer Editor Reference
The Dialogs tab shows all dialog boxes that are part of an .MSI. Any of these dialog
boxes can appear in different situations:
Install Dialogs
The Install Dialogs appear during a normal installation, if no command-line options are
used to run an advertisement, administrative, or silent installation.
Maintenance Dialogs
The Maintenance Dialogs appear when the installation is run in maintenance mode, that
is, when it is run after the application is installed. Maintenance mode lets the end user
change, repair, or uninstall the application.
Admin Dialogs
The Admin Dialogs appear during an administration installation. An administrative
installation copies a source image of the application to a network, for later installation by
end users.
To run an administrative installation, use the command-line option /a.
