Q: 

How can I modify InstallShield Pre-requisite Dialog prompt behaviour?

Hi, I would like to modify the Setup Pre-requisite dialog behaviour but could not find out how.

I have added the SQLSever2005 Express SP1 pre-requisite and have made it 'Optional'. Its optional because they can choose a remote SQL server if they like.

When I run the setup on a machine where it detects that it doesn't have SQLExpress installed you are prompted with a dialog for pending download, in the message text is states:

"THIS IS REQUIRED", but its not its "OPTIONAL". If you click Cancel it aborts the setup, if you click INSTALL then it prompts to "OPTIONALLY" install.

This is silly behaviour, the first dialog should give you the choice to optionally install it. Is there a way to get around this?
