WillShowUI specifies in what circumstances the user interface (UI) is displayed for UpgradeData.

Values

Always

Specifies that the UI is always displayed for this item.

OnError

Specifies that the UI is displayed for this item when an error occurs. This is the default value.

Never

Specifies that the UI is never displayed for this item. Specifies that the UI is never displayed.

WillShowUI only prevents Windows Setup UI pages from being displayed. If a critical error occurs, an error message might be displayed. To avoid displaying the error message, you can use the ErrorHandler.cmd file to automatically run a script to handle the error. For more information about ErrorHandler.cmd, see the OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) User's Guide (Opk.chm) or the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) User's Guide (Waik.chm).

This string type does not support empty elements. Do not create an empty value for this setting.
