How to get value on custom DialogBox to modify XML file!?
Hi all, I'm a new mem of Installshield, and now I'm using InstallShield Pro 2009.
I use it to create an Web install project. In this project, I create a custom DialogBox to get config value for WebApp (Ex: appname, Database type, username, pass......) from end user, but I don't known how to get values to modify webconfig of webapp.
Please help me to handle my problem.
Thanks so much for any help!!!!

It sounds like maybe you'd want to try the procedure in the following help topic (but with one small change):
Using Windows Installer Properties to Dynamically Modify XML Files
You would basically replace step 1 in that help topic with step 6 of the following help topic:
Using Windows Installer Properties to Dynamically Modify IIS Settings
I hope that helps.

In the Internet Information Services view, you should be able to enter something like [MYPROPERTY] for the Application Name setting of your virtual directory. Then, in the Dialogs view, create the custom dialog and follow step 6 in the instructions (Using Windows Installer Properties to Dynamically Modify IIS Settings).

Did you try to use the same property in the IIS view for the virtual directory name and the application name? That is, did you try using something like [MYPROPERTY] in both those name settings?

Can you provide more details on what happens/why it doesn't work?
Can you post screen shots that show what you have entered in the IIS view and the Dialogs view? Maybe that would help pinpoint the problem.

Sorry, nothing jumps out at me. Have you tried creating a verbose log of the installation? That might help identify the issue.
(To log it, try using Setup.exe /v"/l*v c:\test.log" at the command line.)
