Doing a client install, using the custom options. For email it only gives the options of exchange and lotus notes, and pop3/smtp is missing. Anyone have a fix for this as I need that option?
 
I forgot to mention, this is symantec av corp 10.1
 
Still no resolution on my end. I'm thinking that the installer checks for a registry key to determine whether or not to display options.
 
Ok, found a duct-tape and a prayer workaround. I found the appropriate installer in the MSI cache (%windir%\Installer) and opened it up for editing using Orca.

In the Condition table, I edited the entry for Pop3Smtp Level 0 from:

((INSTALLSERVER=1) AND (ACTION<>"ADMIN")) OR (INSTALLSERVER=0 AND NOT(MsiNTProductType<2) AND (ACTION<>"ADMIN"))

to:

((INSTALLSERVER=1) AND (ACTION<>"ADMIN")) OR (INSTALLSERVER=0 AND (ACTION<>"ADMIN")

Then I was able to do a modify install and the option showed up. Now I just need to figure out about MsiNTProductTypes and find out how to check what type the machine is currently reporting itself as, what it should be, and how to change that setting permanently. Otherwise, the option will disappear with an unhacked msi.
