Conversion from Basic MSI to InstallScript
Hi,
I've started a project as a Basic MSI only to find out it was not appropriate. I was using mainly the Property table by populating it with an .ini file. Now, in pure installscript, I cannot use MsiGetProperty() and MsiSetProperty(). I've been searching for an alternative for a long time now. Is there any object or functions that would allow me to associate a STRING key with a STRING value?
Thanks in advance

Perhaps text substitutions will work in your case.

I'm not sure I understand the question but if you are looking to set a value to use in other parts of the isntallation look up TextSubSetValue in help.

Have you thought of using an installscript/msi project type? Gives you the best of both technologies? Hopefully, you are not too far along in your development to switch project types!
