The Customer Information dialog lets you gather information such as name and company from end
users. Additionally, you can link to a DLL that verifies serial numbers, in order to prevent unauthorized
use of your software. Although this dialog is not required, it is selected by default.
The Customer Information dialog can also give end users the option of installing your product for all
users or for only the current user. For more information, see Per-User vs. Per-Machine Installations.
