Hello,

I'm using installshield 11, and I'm using the sql scripts functions. I use the text replacement feature to change some values in one of the scripts. I'm using a property to hold the replacement text, and it works fine if I set the property early in the sequence.

However, I need to set the property fairly late in the sequence (I can't set it any earlier). I set the property after RegisterComPlus. It seems like it converts the property early in the sequence, so if I set the property later, it doesn't pick up the fact that I've changed it (ie, it won't pick up the change in the property, and the replaced value will be wrong).

Is there any way I can update the value that it replaces to? I tried movign the ISSQLServerCosting action down after my own custom action that changes the property, but that doesn't seem to work. (I don't get an error but it still doesn't use the newest value).

Thanks

You would have to move all the SQL related custom actions, not just the costing. Not sure if that would work at all.

Thanks, I think I moved them all, still doesn't work. Oh well.
