Deployment and InstallerClass -- dotnet windows forms

I don't know if this is the appropriate newsgroup, but not sure which one
would be.

I have a custom dialog that I added to the UI of the deployment package.
That dialog asks for special installation options.

#1. Depending on the users configuration, I may want to suppress that
screen entirely, how do I do that, since it is a 'checkbox' dialog in the UI
portion?
#2. It does show up in my .MSI package, but I need to read the checkbox
values in my InstallClass so I can optionally perform additional steps, but I
can't figure out the correct way of doing that.

Unfortunately, I am in .NET 1.1, that is a restriction based on our user

See if this article doesn't help. The easiest way to manage
this stuff is to let the standard install setup handle the basics and
leave all the complex UI just for your custom dialogs at thend.
