Howdy,
running into a strange issue.
Have done several custom actions which are deferred to system context in vbscript and they all work fine and dandy getting their parameters through "CustomActionData" property.
When i tried to convert one of those to installscript from vbscript, "CustomActionData" is blank now (but thanks to the dev 7 i still can read the properties i want directly).
So i guess my question is did Installshield break "CustomActionData" property for Installscript language when they created a workaround where installscript custom actions that are deferred can access any normal public properties?

Thanks in advance for any response.

Valera.

They didn't actually "break" it. They decided to use a different method to pass in the data, so CustomActionData won#t work in this case.

Use MsiGetProperty;
i.e.
nResult = MsiGetProperty( hMSI, "ASPNETBuildVer", szASPNETBuildVer, nBuffSize);
