Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Hide/blank out Passwords in MSI log file Aha I checked my log again and I see what you mean... I am using a custom action to set the property I see the password: <CustomAction Id="CA_WebAppPoolPassword.SetProperty" Property="CA_WebAppPoolPassword." Value="WEBAPPPOOL_PASSWORD=[WEBAPPPOOL_PASSWORD]"/> MSI (s) (D8:60) [17:35:47:010]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding CA_WebAppPoolPassword. property. Its value is 'WEBAPPPOOL_PASSWORD=astring'. Property(S): WEBAPPPOOL_PASSWORD = ********** Property(S): CA_WebAppPoolPassword. = WEBAPPPOOL_PASSWORD=astring It is during the setting of the property using a custom action that it displays it... I will see later if I really need to call a custom action to set the property...

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Hide/blank out Passwords in MSI log file I have tried that and no luck. My MSI is installed via command line. I've even tried to give the property Id a value in case I missed something and still doesn't work. <Property Id="PASSWORD" Value="password" Hidden="yes" Secure="yes" /> My test system is running Server 2003 R2 SP 2 windows installer version 4.5 6001.22159 I've upgraded from WIX 3.6 TO 3.7 in case it was a bug as I have found in hundreds of blogs online but every time I see that a fix was submitted, I can't tell what version it was submitted in. (sorry for the run on sentence.)
