I have programmed a bootstrapper-project with WiX 3.8.
In the bundle i have defined a few overridable variables like this one for
the name of the databaseuser:
<Variable Name="DB_USER"
bal:Overridable="yes"
Type="string"
Value="default"
Hidden="yes"/>
In the viewmodel of my GUI i set the variable in the property-setter:
public string DbName
{
get
{
return _dbName;
}
set
{
_dbName = value;
NotifyPropertyChanged("DbName");
Bootstrapper.Engine.StringVariables["DB_NAME"] =
value.ToUpper();
}
}
On my PC and a virtual PC for testing all works fine.
But now one of my colleagues has a problem when he tries to start the
bootstrapper EXE-file with doubleclick.
In the Windows eventlogs we can see, that the setter of the property DbName
throws an error.

Prosoft.Setup.Installer.UI.InstallerUIViewModel.set_DbUser(System.String)
Can anyone tell me, what can cause such an error when setting a burn
variable?
Thanks in advance!
