Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
We have broken out the OS dialogs into two feature pages given the requirement differences between Windows and Mac.
Below are the requirements for Windows where the current upgrade process runs into modal dialogs that interrupt the user's work flow.
For Windows:
- The UAC (user account control) dialog pop-ups during the update process
- Screenshot below:
- The requirement here is to override this dialog so it does not impact the user's workflow in any way
- bug 481815
- bug 529746
