Hello everybody!

I've got a problem with the state of properties when I have to reboot during setup.

I'm collecting a lot of information from the user during the UI-sequence (in PUBLICPROPERTIES). Then, in the Execute-sequence, I have to reboot the PC (using a conditioned ForceReboot action), depending on the previous state of the PC. After the reboot & resume of the setup all my properties are gone, but I still need a lot of them.

Do I really have to save all these properties by my own or should windows installer be able to transfer these properties over the reboot?

Thanks for any help!

IMHO You need include your proprty name to SecureCustomProperties property list.

See Windows Installer documentation for "SecureCustomProperties Property":

"SecureCustomProperties Property
The SecureCustomProperties is a list of public properties delimited by semi-colons. These properties are included with the default list of restricted public properties that the installer can pass to the server side when doing a managed installation with elevated privileges."

When system is reboot, installation thread is terminated and all non-SecureCustomProperties not saved and not pass to installation after reboot system.

...heh... may bee...

Good luck!
