Because Windows doesn't preserve the values of those properties anywhere - that's up to you. Typically people save them in the registry and retrieve them with an AppSearch.

I want to do the same thing for a CustomAction that runs during uninstall, but the value of the CustomActionData is undefined. <CustomAction Id="SetUnDeployParams" Return="check" Property="UnDeploy" Value="[DB_USER]|[DB_PW]|[WS_USER]|[WS_PW]" /> <CustomAction Id="UnDeploy" JScriptCall="main" Property="UnDeployWAR" /> <Custom Action='SetUnDeployParams' After='MsiUnpublishAssemblies'>Installed AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Custom> <Custom Action='UnDeploy' After='SetUnDeployParams'>Installed AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Custom> and in my 'UnDeploy' CustomAction: var params = Session.Property("CustomActionData").split("|"); var dbuser = params[0]; But dbuser is always undefined. Why would this work for an install but not an uninstall? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/CustomActionData-for-uninstall-tp4054293p4054293.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
