Is there any way to disable the logging of specific properties to the MSI log file.  I need to pass a username and password pair to a couple of deferred custom actions.  In the MSI log file, the value for both is recorded against the property name.

Is there any way that I can disable the logging for these two properties?  If I've missed something in the documentation, please point it out to me.

Thanks,

You could trying using a custom action to set the values of your properties to null. E.g. type 51 Custom action, Source = MYPROPERTY, Target = {}

You require MSI 2.0
Add the secret properties to the MsiHiddenProperties property.  These will not be logged.

There are a few other flags to stop Custom Action logs displaying parameters etc.

see latest Msi Documentation for details.
