Summary

How to display properties in dialog for InstallScript MSI

Synopsis

InstallScript MSI projects contains InstallScript dialogs and MSi package. In order to display the properties from the MSI portion in the InstallScript dialogs, the value of the property will need to be retrieved and set to a previously created control.

Discussion

In the dialog, create a text control that will display the property value.
Take note of the Control Identifier value of the control.

In the Dialog Source of the dialog the property is to be displayed, look for "case DLG_INIT" section and add the two functions below.

A MSIGetProperty function call must be used to retrieve the value of the property.
A CtrlSetText function call will need to set the text control with the value of the property using the Control Identifier value
