CustomActionData Property Value is Null?

[rrock42]

Hi,

InstallShield 2009 InstallScriptMSI package being created.

I set CustomActionData property equal to [TARGETDIR] in the Property Manager.

Using VBScript Custom Action Deferred after InstallInitialize.

The VBScript Cannot get the value returned from:
Session.Property("CustomActionData")

What needs to also be done?

Thanks for any feedback,
Ralph

Thanks Robert! Awesome Newsletter Tip.

I will try out your technique after Holiday.

Geez, I read the InstallShield Help Document and didn't pick-up this technique.

Have a great Weekend!

BTW, How do I access other IS newsletters?
