I have a number of Deferred CA's which require a lot of information (i.e. PROPERTIES.)  

Instead of repeatedly using the "CustomActionData" property for each function I have created an Immediate CA - GetProperties() which  assigns the value of the PUBLIC PROPERTIES to installscript variables.  The function has lots of calls similar to the one below:

MsiGetProperty(hMSI, "INSTALLED", szInstalled, nBuffer);

Now this all works peachy without any problems,  I basically just want to know is it OK to use global variables in this way or are there hidden dangers I have missed.  

Everything works it just seems too good to be true.

Thanks in advance,
Dave
