Prompt when makeing changes Media/Bootstrapper tabs

Hi -

While experimenting with some different option on the Media and Bootstapper tabs, I found that Advanced Installer forced some changes on me when I would have rather been prompted to make them. (BTW - I think it's great that AI realizes a change needs to be made.)

For example, I was on the Bootstrapper tab when I selected the option for "Include install files in EXE" I received the following prompt.

---------------------------
Files in EXE Requirement
---------------------------
This option requires single CAB file not included in the MSI database settings. They were set for you in "Media" tab.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

After reading it, I realized this was not what I wanted and would have preferred to the prompt to have said "Would you like to make these changes? And then allowed me to click on OK or Cancel. But in this case it was too late, since the changes were already made for me.

Going back the other way - clicking on the option for "Include CAB file into the MSI database" I received the following prompt

---------------------------
Include CAB Files Requirement
---------------------------
This option requires the "Leave install files outside" Bootstrapper option. It has been selected for you in the "Bootstrapper" tab.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Hi Doug,

I have added this improvement on our TODO list and it will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for your suggestion.
