A lot of functions of a .rul file I'm looking accepts the NUMBER, hMSI.
But in the file, there is no obvious use of MsiOpenPackage (or MsiOpenPackageEX) nor MsiCloseHandle to get the value of hMSI.

Code:
export prototype PrintLicenseAgreement(NUMBER);
...
function PrintLicenseAgreement(hMSI)
begin
...
end

Can someone explain to me how this works? The reason I'm asking this is because I want to use the MsiGetProperty function, and it requires the hMSI value.

I believe the hMSI is automatically set by installshield, it's the handle of the running instalaltion.

How do I get this handle to the running installation?

Actually, I think I've figured it out.
I'm just stuck now on how I can add a Property name to my combo box.

[Stefan Krueger]

You can specify the property that is associated with your combo box in the dialog editor.

Opps, my previous reply applies to Basic MSI projects. In InstallScript MSI dialogs are script driven so I think you will need to get/set the property value using script.
