If possible paste in a snippet of your log file around where the password is seen. I tried for a long time to hide passwords using the same method. But it was some built-in custom actions that were logging my passwords rather than code I'd written myself.
<Property Id="ConfigureIIsExec" Hidden="yes"/> <Property Id="ExecuteSqlStrings" Hidden="yes"/> These were two entries that I made to make those extensions hide the data passed to them, such as my password. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremiahf [mailto:jeremi...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 2:38 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Hide/blank out Passwords in MSI log file I have tried that and no luck. My MSI is installed via command line. I've even tried to give the property Id a value in case I missed something and still doesn't work. <Property Id="PASSWORD" Value="password" Hidden="yes" Secure="yes" /> My test system is running Server 2003 R2 SP 2 windows installer version 4.5 6001.22159 I've upgraded from WIX 3.6 TO 3.7 in case it was a bug as I have found in hundreds of blogs online but every time I see that a fix was submitted, I can't tell what version it was submitted in. (sorry for the run on sentence.)
