It was my understanding that formatted text expansion would typically occur before the user interface is shown. In this specific case, the user conducting the installation will be modifying the values, hence the reason why I (and apparently Rennie also) believed a custom action would be required. Are you saying that formatted text fields (where supported) are always re-evaluated before use?


Formatted text is evaluated at time of use wherever MSI lists a column as being formatted or supporting formatted text. Some formatting is only valid at certain times or under certain conditions (e.g., [#fileId] or [$componentId]). But it does require an explicit evaluation call so if it's not documented as being formatted, it won't work (e.g., inside an RTF control).
