Yes, you can create custom action that sets one property to the value of
another. And you can Publish multiple DoAction events on button press.
Examples:
<Property Id="INSTALLDIR" Secure="yes" />
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLDIR" />
<Property Id="MY_PROP_TEMPFOLDER" Secure="yes" />
<CustomAction Id="My_CA_SetTemporaryFolder"
Property="MY_PROP_TEMPFOLDER" Value="[TempFolder]"
Execute="oncePerProcess" />
<Publish Dialog="OptionsDialog" Control="Next" Event="DoAction"
Value=" My_CA_SetTemporaryFolder "
Order="1">MY_PROP_SOMETHING=1</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="OptionsDialog" Control="Next" Event="DoAction"
Value="MY_CA_SomethingElse" Order="2"/>

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.
