how to troubleshoot -options-record issue
Hi,
when running my installer with the "-options-record record.txt" switch, the record.txt file doesn't contain all the values entered during installation.
if I run it with the -options-template template.txt, the template.txt contains all the values...
I managed to set break-points into the generateOptionEntries... method that are supposed to be called, but for the missing values, it never gets there.
does anyone have tips on how to troubleshoot that kind of issues?
I have a couple of custom dialogs, 2 of them are being recorded properly, and 3 of them are not...I just can't figure why...
Thanks in advance,
Laurent.

I figured that one out...maybe it will help others in the future...
A condition on the panels was preventing them from being recorded.
The interesting part is that condition was not preventing the panel from being displayed BEFORE the install action, but was preventing them AFTER the install action.
Guess what: the recording of the values entered in the panels is done when clicking on the finish button of the post-install summary panel, so AFTER the installation.
Removing the condition is fixing my issue.
