1. In the View List under Server Configuration, click Internet Information Services.
2. In the Web Sites explorer, click the Web site whose user name end users should be able to specify for anonymous access.
3. For the Enable anonymous access setting, select Yes.
4. In the Anonymous User Name setting, type the following: [MYPROPERTY]
5. Use the property in a dialog. This part of the procedure depends on which project type you are using.
   • For Basic MSI projects:
     1. In the View List under User Interface, click Dialogs.
     2. In the Dialogs explorer, expand the All Dialogs folder, and click the language under the dialog that should contain the User Name control. As an alternative, you can add a new dialog.
     3. Add an Edit Field control to the dialog, and set its Property property to the following: MYPROPERTY
   • For InstallScript MSI projects:
     1. In the View List under Behavior and Logic, click InstallScript.
     2. Find the dialog code in the OnFirstUIBefore event for the dialog that should contain the User Name control, and add a call to the Windows Installer API function MsiSetProperty. For example, if you want the user name to be the name that the end user specifies on the CustomerInformation dialog, you would add an MsiSetProperty call as shown in the following lines of code:

        Dlg_SdCustomerInformation:
            nResult = SdCustomerInformation(szTitle, svName, svCompany, nUser);
            MsiSetProperty(ISMSI_HANDLE, "MYPROPERTY", svName);
            if (nResult = BACK) goto Dlg_SdWelcome;

6. Build your release.
