Hi,
I have still not found any solution to the following problem, I tried using
a C++ custom action DLL, but even that changes the server side property.
Please give me some information at least... so that I can think of some
workarounds.

okay, I think my issue is concerned only with 2 actions.
CA which sets the property : executed after LaunchConditions
CA which uses the property : executed after OnExit
basically OnExit (in InstallUISequence) I show a dialog, this dialog has
a Finish button, and the finish button publishes an event which calls the
CA.
Should I cascade the 2 CAs so that
OnExit -> show dialog -> click Finish -> event -> CA to set property (CA1)
and in InstallExecuteSequence I execute 2nd CA with After property set to
"CA1"
will that work?
