One more piece of data:

When I specify /SILENT instead of /VERYSILENT to the installer,
I get the same behavior.

When I do not specify either one, the wizard runs, the
option to use the Guardian service is checked (by default),
and the Guardian service is installed.

Is there a command line flag to the installer that can
be used to specify installing the Guardian service?

Thanks,

Eric
