As shown below, I have an ALREADY_INSTALLED property which is supposed to be
set before going into the UI, where it is used to hide/show dialog text
dependent on the ALREADY_INSTALLED property.
But looking at the logs, this property doesn't get set until AFTER the
SettingsDialog gets created, so the text is hidden always.
How can I get the FileSearch property to be populated before the dialogs are
created?
Thanks for any help!
