Suite install - sequence of multiple actions defined for control
In a suite install if a dialogue has multiple actions defined are they executed in the order of definition?
For example if I have the sequence:
[CODE]{SetProperty BrowseInstallDir=[ProgramFiles64Folder]Cristie} {BrowseFolder BrowseInstallDir,IDS_BROWSEFOLDER_INSTALLTO} {SetProperty SuiteInstallDir=[BrowseInstallDir]}[/CODE]
defined in the action field of a control will the sequence be executed as SetProperty, BrowseFolder and finally SetProperty. In particular can I assume that the final SetProperty action occurs after control has returned from the BrowseFolder action?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is a safe assumption. I believe even the lookup for the property will happen when the action executes, which means you'll get the semantics you want. Are you seeing something else? Does a /debuglog have any hint?

Hi Michael
My testing appears to confirm the order of execution is indeed dictated by the action sequence. It's just that this wasn't documented anywhere.
Thanks for confirming that.
