So, perhaps it's time to consider solving it wrong.
You must be new around here ;)
Now, I realize this is probably wrong, but it gets both Photoshop CS's installer and Bricscad 8's installer past their z-order problems. What would it break? (If it's not obvious, I'm not very well informed about window styles, window management, and all that.)
It would break any app that happens to use that style for a menu or tooltip or whatever. The proper way is to make windows managed dynamically depending on the behavior of the app, i.e. detect that a dialog is popped up behind a non-managed window and make the front window managed at that point.
