Just a little more information. From the installation log I get:

It is the ChangeServiceAccount that I need the properties set for. Then there is the
dump of properties, of which I am only interested in the following.
Property(C): SERVICEUSER = PPC\Administrator
Property(C): SERVICEPASSWORD = **********
Property(C): PASSWORDCONFIRMATION = **********
So the properties seem to be set in the property table but in the custom action
(ChangeServiceAccount) when I am using MsiGetProperty and the properties are coming
back blank or a zero length string. This is why the custom action returns an error and
starts the rollback process above. I am not very familiar with the log file format so
I am not sure why the ChangeServiceAccount custom action is listed twice in the log.
Anyway, any ideas as to why the properties don't seem to get set from the dialog?

Subject: RE: Dialog tutorial
Again thank you for the response.
I have:
<control dialog="UserCredentialDlg" name="UserName" type="Edit"
x="18" y="85" width="252" height="18" attr="7"
property="SERVICEUSER"
text="[SERVICEUSER]"
nextcontrol="PasswordLabel" />
<control dialog="UserCredentialDlg" name="Password" type="Edit"
x="18" y="122" width="252" height="18" attr="2097159"
property="SERVICEPASSWORD"
text="[SERVICEPASSWORD]"
nextcontrol="PasswordConfirmationLabel" />
<control dialog="UserCredentialDlg" name="PasswordConfirmation"
type="Edit"
x="18" y="159" width="252" height="18" attr="2097159"
property="PASSWORDCONFIRMATION"
text="[PASSWORDCONFIRMATION]"
nextcontrol="Back" />
The dialog containing these controls is run early on. The custom action that needs
these properties is specified as:
<customactions>
. . .
<customaction action="ChangeServiceAccount" type="1025"
source="PPCINSTALLATIONSUPPORT" target="ChangeServiceAccount" />
. . .
</customactions>
and in the sequence table as:
<sequences>
. . .
<sequence type="installexecute" action="ChangeServiceAccount"
value="5810" condition="NOT Installed" />
</sequences>
I pop up a message box in the custom action when there is an error and I display the
properties that should have been set and they are blank. This custom action is set to
run after the services have been installed so this is well down the line from when the
properties should have been set. I am prompted for the properties very early in the
installation process but when they are needed they seem to be blank. I need the
services to be installed before I can use these properties so that is why I cannot
call the custom action as part of the <controlconditions> (at least as far as I
understand it).
