[WiX-users] Passwords, hidden and the log file

[Balu Swaminathan]

Hello All:

 

 

I have:

 

<Property Id="PASSWORD"  Hidden="yes"/>

 

and the value passed on PASSWORD is written to the log file when the .msi is 
invoked with 

 

msiexec ... /l*v msilog.log ...

 

Investigation starts... In the log file it appears as 

 

and it appears in the log file as

 

MSI (s) (BC!80) [10:39:39:772]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding ConfigureIIsExec 
property. Its value is 
'ConfigureIIs€1€5€1€User€1€Component_€1€Name€1€Domain€1€Password€1€3€OURUSERID€C_OurUserAccount€_abc€mgdContoso€<LOOKHERE>passwordIsHere<LOOKHERE>€4€2€1€0€0€2€1€16€1€AppPool€1€Name€1€Component_€1€Attributes€2€User_€1

 

so it looks like ConfigureIIs is writing it.

 

Is there someway to prevent the password being written to the log file in this 
scenario where we configure a custom appPool, virtual directory, etc. in the 
MSI. ?

 

Thanks

 

balu.
