Someone please help me with the following issue?
I have this property : <Property Id="EXCEL_PROGRAM" Value="DUMMY.EXE"/>
And this Custom action which sets the above property
<CustomAction Id="GEN_XLS_PATH" Return="check" Property="EXCEL_PROGRAM"
Value="[XLSPROGPATH]Excel.exe"></CustomAction>
There is another custom action which uses the above property
<CustomAction Id="LaunchExcel" Property="EXCEL_PROGRAM" ExeCommand="" Return
="asyncNoWait" />
The installation log shows the following:

The property was changed, but still while executing LaunchExcel it is being
shown as DUMMY.EXE
Any idea what is going wrong here?
