Hello,

The Property element's Secure attribute is supposed to be necessary to pass
a property from the UI to the Execute sequence. However, I've never been
able to create a situation where it was necessary. For me, just making the
property uppercase has always done the trick.

I've tried the following scenarios:

 * installing as an Administrator
 * installing as a non-Administrator
 * setting the property with a custom action
 * setting the property with a Property element
 * setting the property from the command line
 * using the property in the Execute sequence in an immediate custom action 
 * setting the ALLUSERS property to "1" and installing as a
non-administrator

I've tried it in XP, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.

It always works for me without using the Secure attribute. However, I see
many sources that say the Secure attribute is needed. Can anyone show me a
scenario, with the steps to take, when this is really necessary? When not
having that attribute would cause an error?

I appreciate any help.
