Aptiva - 2158/2163/2164 Considerations - No icons added to Aptiva Installer

Applicable to: World-Wide

Description:
Aptiva Installer now only displays icons for the preloaded applications.

Models affected:
2158, 2163, and 2164

How to duplicate:
1. Run Aptiva Installer
2. Install any program different from the preloaded applications using the "Find Install Program" button from Aptiva Installer.
3. Run Aptiva Installer again and check that the icon was not added to the "Show Installed Programs" page.

Root cause:
Change of code of Aptiva Installer (Design Spec change)

Workaround:
No workaround or detailed plan needed. (This is now working as it is designed to work. User should use "Add/Remove Programs" functions of Windows to delete non-preloaded applications).
