hi,
I want to let the user chose which shortcuts should be created. So I'm using an AskOptions dialog that stores the users choice in a boolean. Now I want to set the e.g. CREATE_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT property to the value of the corresponding variable, using MsiSetProperty, accepting an msi handle, the property name (string) and the property set value (string) as arguments.
Unfortunately I can't find any information on how to cast (or convert) a boolean to a string in installscript. Does anyone have ideas on how this (seemingly easy) task could be accomplished, or alternative solutions?
Regards, Felix

| if ( bCreateDesktopShortcut = TRUE ) then MsiSetProperty(hMSI, "CREATE_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT", "1"); endif; // no else needed: if the property isn't set it's equvalent to FALSE |

thanks a lot, as usual i wonder why i didn't do it that way from the start.
if anyone is lead to this topic still looking for a way to convert strings to integer or the other way round, there are actually NumToStr and StrToNum functions.
