I have a question regarding MinVersion and silent installation...

It looks like when...

* MinVersion is set in [Setup] section

* User's OS does not meet version requirement

* User starts installer silently (/SILENT or /VERYSILENT)

...then the installer still displays the version error message box ("This program does not support the version of Windows your computer is running") even though it is running silently.

Is this intentional?

( My expectation was that with /SILENT or /VERYSILENT there would be no message box.)

No, that's what /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES is for.

Of course; I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder!
