Persisting Variables
Hi,
I'm trying to capture a value from the user at install time, and persist it so that I can use the value at uninstall time. I've tried both Local and Global persisted variables unsuccessfully -> they seem to retain whatever the default value is. I've even tried using Set Property Wizard Actions after the destination panel.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

How are you setting the variable you want to persist? I mean, you provide the default in the Property Manager view and set it to Is Persisted there, but how are you capturing the user information to change the variable during installation? Via a control on a panel? Via a custom bean? Or just using the Set Variable wizard action?
