To report what I found on my questions: 1. I guess the !(var.Property_XXX_Password) syntax is a pre-processor variable and not a "property"! 2. <Property Id="Property_XXX_Password" Hidden="yes"/> --- this worked to hide the password was replaced with *****'s!

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Which way to install a Windows service is best? I got my 64 bit C# Custom Action running just fine and it can set some properties that I can use to set my account and password on my <ServiceInstall> element. Thanks to everyone. Wix is pretty cool! I have two other questions though: 1. When my CA sets properties they print in the log!!!! How can I suppress this as I don't want to expose the password. 2. When I try to reference a property that my CA sets, I have to use [Property_XXX_Password] because !(var.Property_XXX_Password) does not work! I was expecting to be able to reference with a !(var.Property_XXX_Password) syntax. What is the difference between these references? P.S. I used the following sequence to call my action. <!-- Set the sequence --> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="GetServiceLogon" After="CostFinalize" Overridable="yes">NOT Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> Thanks, Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
