Is it possible to set a property using If statements, I would like something like this to work but it doesn't and I am not sure if it can even be done: Kind Regards, Natalie Carr -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [WiX-users] set a property using If statements
Yes. Youd use a pair of SetProperty elements (or a default property setting and an override): e.g. ProductName = "somevalue" You would need to set the Before or After attributes if you wanted the assignment to take place earlier than the default. This only makes sense if your condition can only be evaluated at run time. If you knew the value at compile time then the preprocessor approach would be better. BTW changing Secure won't have had the effect you observed - it will have been some other change you made. Secure=yes just enables the property value to propagate from the commandline & UI sequence to the Execute sequence. -Original Message- From: Natalie Carr [mailto:natalie.c...@measuresoft.com] Sent: 19 September 2012 14:33 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

Re: [WiX-users] set a property using If statements
A small addition to Peter's answer. I think that you'll get a warning like: 'duplicate of id SetNumloggers'. So better use CustomAction element with two different 'ID'.

Re: [WiX-users] set a property using If statements
Sorry, I'd forgotten about that. Thanks Nelya. You'd end up with 2 custom actions with the same Id. You need to write out one or both of the set property custom actions in long form as shown in the previous post (SetProperty is just a shorthand). -Original Message- From: Nelya Iva [mailto:nelya@gmail.com] Sent: 19 September 2012 15:01 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
