software should be installed for all users or only for the current user. The latter
applies only to destination computers that run Windows NT, Windows 2000, or
Windows XP. The Product ID field does not appear to the end user if the ProductID

computer has more than one Palm user, this dialog appears to let the end user select
the Palm users for which the Palm application will be installed.
! SQL Connection Dialog
Appears in installations started from the Server Application template in the New
Installation File dialog. It lets end users select a SQL Server name and security
credentials, and puts the resulting connection string into a property. You can use this
connection string on Installation Expert > SQL Server Scripts page. See Adding the
SQL Connection Dialog to an Installation on page 449.
! IIS Dialogs
Several dialogs that begin with “IIS” are added if you install Web files. See About
Web Installations on page 217.
Caution
The IIS dialogs must always remain in the order they are in, and so must be moved as a
cohesive, ordered group.

Wizard. See Adding the Logon Information Dialog on page 447.
