Hi there,

In my InstallShield basic MSI project I have a dialog box that contains a check box. Connected to this check box I have defined a property "CheckProperty" and when Next button is pressed I set another property (public) like this:

[MYPROPERTY] 1 CheckProperty="1"
[MYPROPERTY] 0 CheckProperty<>"1"

After that I write MYPROPERTY in the registry as DWORD value.
Everything is, OK the value in the registry is 1 if the checkbox is checked or 0 otherwise.

Now my question is how do I initialize the checkbox when the dialog box is created to a specific value (in my case here based on that registry entry). All the time when the dialog box is created the check box is checked. I tried to set the CheckProperty property to 0 but no help. Can I change non public properties in script file using MsiSetProperty calls?

Any ideas?

Believe it or not, but if the property is defined with any value, the check box will be checked. You need to "un-define" the property to clear the check mark. That is the property must be deleted from the property table OR you need to assign it this mysterious value:

PROPERTY = {}

The above means: set PROPERTY to nothing (which will undefine it).
