Thank you very much. Progress but I think I am running into the second problem that you mentioned. The documentation states that in order for the property to be set in the UI phase and passed to the execution phase it has to be public for Windows XP and Windows 2000. I am not running either XP or Windows 2000 (I am running Windows Server 2003) but the symptoms seem to be the same. As I understand it if the property name does not contain lower case letters then it is public. Right?

Remove that attribute and you should be set. However, depending on what you're doing with the properties, you might need to make them public and secure so they're passed from the UI sequence to the execute sequence. See "Private Properties" and "Public Properties" in the MSI SDK doc for the gory details. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
