Re: [WiX-users] Admin install + saving variables
Did you try marking the Properties you want saved into the admin image as Admin='yes'? Doing that adds the Property (even if you don't provide a value) to the AdminProperties Property as described in the MSI SDK that seems like it does what you want. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RussGreen Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2007 07:42 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Admin install + saving variables I've built my WiX project using mondo and adding in a custom dialog and admin UI sequence.

The administrative image will persist property changes, but if you have custom actions or other code that re-initializes the properties when you run the install, then the persisted values will be lost. I think I might need to create an MSI transform.mst during the admin install to achieve this No, you don't need to do this. Windows Installer does something like that for you (exactly what it does is undocumented as you're not supposed to care about the method used to implement the property persistence). -- The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline -- DirectX 9 draft available for download http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html Legalize Adulthood! http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
