I have a problem changing User Defined Property in InstallScript.
I tried to change a user defined property in a InstallScript, as below operation, but it cannot be changed after processing its InstallScript.
1) Add new property by Property Manager.
Name: ETYPE Value: NULL
2) Write a simple InstallScript , in which I use MsiSetProperty function.
#include "ifx.h"
export prototype MyFunction(HWND);
function MyFunction(hMSI)
begin
MsiSetProperty(ISMSI_HANDLE, "ETYPE", "HELLO");
end;
3) Insert this custom action(InstallScript) by Custom Action Wizard.
Insert it in in Install UI Sequence.
As I check its property in MSI debugger, it is not changed (NULL).
Could someone point out my mistake, please ?
Is it not possible by InstallScript ?
or Is the function(MsiSetProperty) not correct ?
or Is Sequence inserted not wrong ?
Please help me.

you can use this way:
function MyFunction(hMSI)
begin
MsiSetProperty(hMSI, "ETYPE", "HELLO");
end;
function MyFunction(hMSI)
begin
MsiSetProperty(hMSI, "ETYPE", "HELLO");
end;
