I think I see where this is going, but hopefully it might be more intuitive. I can set a property based on whether the product is already installed, but what I need to do is retrieve the property value when the remove button is clicked. Given that the property set by the remove button is private, is there a way of also setting a public property value? i.e., can multiple properties be set by one button press? Or is that off the mark? Thanks for the help so far, this seems like a fairly fundamental thing and is the last remaining issue in my installer.
