Excellent article.

How I can set value in EDITA1 as value of current logged in user. I can get the current logged in user using below statement.

string sLoggeInUser = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.ToString();

But How I can assign the value to EDITA1.

Hi,

I want to know if there is an option to control if a dialog will be shown from the user's decision in the previous dialog.

Thanks,

Hadar.

Sorry again :-)

Windows Installer properties can be passed using the bracketed syntax: /name=[PROPERTYNAME]. For Windows Installer properties such as [TARGETDIR] that return a directory, in addition to the brackets you must include quotation marks and a trailing backslash: /name="[TARGETDIR]\". So try with:

/TEST=[BUTTON3] /FNAME=[EDITA1] /LNAME=[EDITA2] /PATH="[TARGETDIR]\"

I tried the above code but is is throwing exception on path line.

"Exception occure while initializing the installation:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load files or assembly"

Silly me :-)

On OnInstall action for CustomActionData property add:

/TEST=[BUTTON3] /FNAME=[EDITA1] /LNAME=[EDITA2] /PATH=[TARGETDIR]

and in Installer1_AfterInstall() function add line:

string path = this.Context.Parameters["PATH"];

In your example, the variable "path" is not defined. This is the information i very much would like to get (i.e. the application install path). Can you explain how you get the path? Thanks!
