Given a property: <Property Id='MYPROPERTY' Value='0' />
I have a custom action that sets it to different values depending on what it finds: <CustomAction Id='SetMyProperty' BinaryKey='HelperDLL' DllEntry='SetMyProperty' /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action='SetMyProperty' After='ValidateProductID'>NOT Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> I need to show a dialog (among other things) depending on the value of this property: <InstallUISequence> <Show Dialog="MyDialog" After='ExecuteAction'>MYPROPERTY = 1</Show> </InstallUISequence> The problem is that no matter what value the custom action sets for MYPROPERTY, it is always 0 (whatever I defined at the top or not defined at all if I don't) when the dialog 'MyDialog' is supposed to run. The msiexec log shows MYPROPERTY being properly set by the custom action: <...snip...> MSI (s) (DC!0C) [15:31:05:718]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying MYPROPERTY property. Its current value is '0'. Its new value: '1'. <...snip...> But I see these two lines showing the different values: <...snip...> Property(S): MYPROPERTY = 1 <...snip...> Property(C): MYPROPERTY = 0 <...snip...> I assume these to be "Client" and "Server". How do I make this work? I'm sorry if this is simple but I'm still having a hard time grasping MSI.
