Format string in property manager
I'm working on an .msi install and was going through one of the examples I found (Calling MessageBoxA in an installation).
I created a custom action referencing the user32.dll. MessageBox pops up just fine. However, I'd like to change the MESSAGEPROP string to something a little longer than 'Can you see this text?'
However, I dont' know how to format that Property Value string to accept newline characters. I've tried "This is line 1\n This is line2\n" and it just displays it as is. Has anyone else tried this?

I don't know if it will work in this case, but for a roundabout method please see [thread=166412]this thread[/thread].
