Is it possible to :
1. set a variable in a script : /SET PDAPP "Office 2003"
2. Use this variable in a package to display a message (Duringprompt)

In this way I can use 1 package to display which application is being installed (usefull when installing .msi , exe files etc)

Package prompts won't resolve the variable, but perhaps the "msg" command can be used within a Prism Script to accomplish something similar. Try a script (text file with a .pts extension) like:

/set PDAPP "Office 2003"
/run %comspec% /c msg %username% Installing %PDAPP%...
/run msiexec /i \\server\share\setup.exe /qn

On machines XP or greater, a message will pop up for the current user that says "Installing Office 2003..."

You should be able to create a Prism Package to change permissions. Take a custom picture (Registry Machine Settings only) on a PC that has the restricted registry settings. Then change the registry permissions and capture the changes in the Package (.pwc file). The resulting Package should be carefully tested on a few PCs to make sure the permissions are configured the way you want them.
