Windows Installer has a property called SecureCustomProperties which is just a ; delimited list of property names. In WiX, the Property element has an attribute called Secure which is tells the compiler to put the property in the SecureCustomPropertiesProperty.

But in my wix code, my condition element is not working as expected. Following message is displayed even if value for "SOLUTIONEXISTS" is "notexits". I did checked the log file and the value is set properly. What could be reason for this? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Passing-values-to-CA-not-working-tp6216967p6220198.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
