Property changes in the Execute sequence are not copied back to the UI sequence. This is a Windows Installer limitation. You could store the value elsewhere (temporary file, registry) and read it in UI sequence.

Hi,
I'm setting a property with a "Set Property" Custom Action during the execute sequence. I confirmed that this works fine by looking at the log. I now want to use this property at the end of the UI sequence, specifically in the "OnFirstUIBefore" function of the InstallScript for the UI. Using MsiGetProperty there just returns the default value of the property and NOT the value I set with the afore mentioned Custom Action during the execute sequence.
Can anyone explain to me what causes this behaviour and how I could solve the problem?
Thanks a lot,
Felix
