Michael,
I was glad to hear Oleg second your suggestion. It's a bit trickier than
you might at first imagine. (Everything about MSI installers is trickier
than one might at first imagine, in my opinion.) So it's good to have some
independent verification of the value of this.
As you know, when our MSI installer is run in Administrative mode, we
present some of the same screens that are presented to the end user, and
preserve the values that you set as an administrator. This is intended
primarily to make it easy for you to help the end user get the license text
entered successfully. Should we do the same thing for a default template
prompt? That is, should we present that screen during Administrative setup
and preserve the selection with the network installation image?
- Peter

My vote would be to have an override in the custom install for any automated
action.
