Documentation Upgrade

Re: customDlg In Maintenance Mode

Please note that this is supported through the default dialogs:

Re: customDlg In Maintenance Mode

Thanks for the information but you have given me nothing that will help me solve this problem. My initial install works fine. I can install the client, host or both. To do that I set the installlevel to different numbers and install based on the number. 3 = client only 5 = host only and 6 both ...
