This works for me, but I'm not doing any VBScript.

<CustomAction Id="myCAId" Property="myPropertyName" Value="myNewPropertyValue" 
/>
...
<InstallExecuteSequence>
        <Custom Action="myCAId" After="CostInitialize"  > </Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

Subject: [WiX-users] Modify Public property from VBScript CustomAction

Hi everyone.
I try to modify public property from VBScript CustomAction but without any
success:

<CustomAction Id="ProcessPath" Script="vbscript">
        <![CDATA[
        pathToProcess = Session.Property("PREVIOUS_PATH")
        pathToProcess = Replace(pathToProcess, "/", "\")
        Session.SetProperty "PREVIOUS_PATH", pathToProcess
        ]]>
</CustomAction>

I tried Session["PREVIOUS_PATH"] = pathToProcess but it didn't work.

Is it possible to modify property values from script custom action?

The real problem is legacy application saves pathes with "/" slashes and when 
installing new version Installer should copy files to
directory with those slahes (from registry) or default folder. But the path 
"C:/dir1/ is interpreted as network location and with
C:\dir1\ works perfectly.

<SetProperty Id="FilesPath" Value="[PREVIOUS_PATH]" After="CostInitialize"
>PREVIOUS_PATH</SetProperty>

FilePath is a Directory element. PREVIOUS_PATH is initialized with 
RegistrySearch element.


Thank you!
