Each dialog box element has a Visible attribute and an unlimited number of control child elements. For instance, SetupTypeDlg has SetupTypeCtl and LocationCtl child elements that correspond to the setup type control and installation location control in the dialog box. Set the Visible attribute to False to prevent the display of a dialog box. Include the necessary control elements and values to supply the dialog box data. For a completely silent installation, set all Visible attributes to False. For a partially silent installation, set Visible to True for only those dialog boxes that require user interaction.

Each Actuate product uses its own set of dialog boxes. Examine the default acinstallinput.xml and acinstallinput.xsd files for a product to see the available elements and controls and view their default values.
