Sorry, I forgot to specify. The property is TIER1LIST. I separated out the line that has the delete below.
-----Original Message----- From: Harvey, John Ctr USAF Warfighter's Edge [mailto:john.har...@wedge.hpc.mil] Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 8:12 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Why is my property deleted This one has me stumped. I have a dialog. The dialog has a combo box. The list of the combo box is populated in a custom action. When running the install, the list on the combo box has nothing. When looking in the log, I can see where the list is getting populated and also there is a line when creating the dialog that says the property associated with the combo box is getting deleted. I can not figure out why. The setup is created using WiX 3.0.5419.0 and VS 2008. I am deploying to a Win 2003 Server VM that also has SQL Server 2008 Express. Here is the dialog: This has been hacked to bit while debugging. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Include xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Dialog Id="dialogTier1Selection" X="50" Y="50" Width="375" Height="287" Title="[ProductName] Select Tier 1"> <Control Id="NextButton" Type="PushButton" X="300" Y="261" Width="66" Height="18" Text="{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}&Next >" TabSkip="no" Default="yes"> <Publish Order="12" Event="NewDialog" Value="[dialogTier1Selection_NextArgs]">PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED="" AND dialogTier1Selection_NextArgs<>"" AND TIER1FOUND="True"</Publish> </Control> <Control Id="Label1" Type="Text" X="18" Y="108" Width="348" Height="12" Text="{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}Tier 1 Server:" TabSkip="no" /> <Control Id="TIER1LIST" Type="ComboBox" X="18" Y="120" Width="348" Height="18" Property="TIER1LIST" TabSkip="no" Sunken="yes" ComboList="yes"> <ComboBox Property="TIER1LIST"> <ListItem Text="Tier 1" Value="Tier 1"></ListItem> </ComboBox> <Publish Property="TIER1FOUND" Value="False" Order="1">TIER1LIST="" OR TIER1LIST="Other"</Publish> </Control> <Control Id="CancelButton" Type="PushButton" X="156" Y="261" Width="66" Height="18" Text="{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}Cancel" TabSkip="no" Cancel="yes"> <Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="Cancel" /> </Control> <Control Id="PreviousButton" Type="PushButton" X="228" Y="261" Width="66" Height="18" Text="{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}< &Back" TabSkip="no"> <Condition Action="disable">dialogTier1Selection_PrevArgs=""</Condition> <Condition Action="enable">dialogTier1Selection_PrevArgs<>""</Condition> <Publish Event="NewDialog" Value="[dialogTier1Selection_PrevArgs]">dialogTier1Selection_PrevArgs<>""</Publish> </Control> <Control Id="BannerBmp" Type="Bitmap" X="0" Y="0" Width="375" Height="52" Text="DefBannerBitmap" TabSkip="no" Disabled="yes" /> <Control Id="BannerText" Type="Text" X="9" Y="9" Width="306" Height="33" Text="{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif16.0_1_0}Tier 1" TabSkip="yes" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes" /> <Control Id="BodyText" Type="Text" X="9" Y="63" Width="354" Height="42" Text="{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}Select the Tier 1 connection."
