Installer.CollectUserInfo method

The CollectUserInfo method of the Installer object invokes a user interface wizard sequence which collects and stores both user information and the product code.

Syntax

Installer.CollectUserInfo(
  Product
)

Parameters

Product

Specifies the product code of the product.

Return value

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

An application should call the CollectUserInfo method the first time it is run. The CollectUserInfo method opens the product's installation package and invokes an authored user interface wizard sequence which collects user information. Upon completion of the wizard sequence, the collected user information is registered. The UILevel property should be set to msiUILevelFull because this API requires an authored user interface.

The CollectUserInfo method invokes the FirstRun Dialog.
