Thank you Bob for responding. Which element do I set to secure? I do not have a declare property element, Im just using the implicit one from the Dialog. Do i need to pre-declare the property first.
May you know of an example out there somewhere for getting properties from dialogs into config files. This must be a common application. I just can't find any. My idea was to just parse the 2 properties from the dialog and place them in a property call CONNECT_STRING using a custom action and then hopefully that would end up in my config file setting. Am i taking the wrong approach? -----Original Message----- From: Bob Arnson [mailto:b...@joyofsetup.com] Sent: Monday, 11 May 2009 11:41 p.m. To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Make sure your property is marked Secure="yes" so it will always go from the UI to the execute sequence. Finally, verbose logging is your friend: Check it for references to your property and to ExecXmlFile, which is the deferred custom action that modifies the XML file. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
