Setting Virtual Directory Alias at runtime
We are trying to set the Virtual Directory's alias during the runtime of the install using a public property that gets set by one of our custom dialogs. This doesn't seem to work.
After some digging I found a temp file that the internal ca's use to temporarily store the information used to create the virtual directories. Some of the [PROPERTY] values haven't pulled through, instead the property name has been stored in this file. See the attached zip file with the install log and IIS73D6.tmp file.
The properties in question:
I suspect that it has something to do with the string table.
Any ideas to how we can get around this?

The properties in question:
MH_CUSTOMERVIEW_SHARE - Value: MHCustomerView
MH_DIALOGSERVERAPI_SHARE - Value: MHDialogServerAPI
I suspect that it has something to do with the string table.

if we create a "breakpoint" in the install and replace the [PROPERTIES] with the actual values then the virtual directories get created
