Lol. See my prior posts from today. I needed this specifically to get a property from a registry key to pass to a custom action during uninstall.

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. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Property-Secure-when-to-use-tp4982590p4982590.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
