Hi everyone,

I have a weird problem:

During the UI sequence I have a CA that runs an installscript function. This function sets a property value accourding to some conditions. I use the method MsiSetProperty to do that and right after that I check the property value with MsiGetProperty to make sure everything's fine - and it is OK.

Later on in the Execute sequence I get the CustomActionData property (using again a CA) and parse it in a list. Thus I can read several properties at once. Among these several properties that I parse is the one I set up in the UI sequence.
UNFORTUNATELY the property has its default value and NOT the one I already wrote with MsiSetProperty, although I checked it right after setting it up and it was OK

Any idea what's happening there?

Thanks in advance

Properties get reset in the Execute sequence. To make sure your value is passed on, list the property name in the SecureCustomProperties property.

Thanks a lot, Kathy. Works fine now!
