I have upraded our build machine with IS 2016 SP1 yesterday. And suddenly, our suite installer was not working anymore. After researching the issue, we found out that now, the setup.exe is being copied to a temp dir and renamed to a random name before being executed. for example, thsi is the beginning of the suite install log: Engine: we're running from C:\Users\ALA~1\AppData\Local\Temp\{D863CF9B-54E7-4653-BD30-CC4FE1C77D09}\_isA974.exe And the command-line, later is Command Line: /log"C:\ProgramData\Installation\Blah_20170302-161534" -IS_temp ORIGINALSETUPEXEDIR="\\da\Daily Builds\build" ORIGINALSETUPEXENAME="SC Setup.exe" /debuglog"C:\ProgramData\Installation\Blah_20170302-161534\SC Installation.log" These ORIGINALSETUPEXEDIR and ORIGINALSETUPEXENAME properties are not documented, as far as I know. Just wanted to share this info, in case someone runs into an issue like ours.

I am trying to enable/disable the ChangeFolder button on CustomSetup dialog, based on the feature which is selected in the tree, since some features HAVE to be in INSTALLDIR, whereas others can go to a different location. In the msi log, I can see that MsiSelectionTreeSelectedFeature is set to the currently selected feature is the tree. MSI (c) (0C:28) [14:54:46:881]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying _IsSetupTypeMin property. Its current value is 'Typical'. Its new value: 'Custom'. MSI (c) (0C:28) [14:54:47:881]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding MsiSelectionTreeSelectedFeature property. Its value is 'NewFeature1'. MSI (c) (0C:28) [14:54:47:881]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding MsiSelectionTreeSelectedAction property. Its value is '3'. MSI (c) (0C:28) [14:54:47:881]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding MsiSelectionTreeSelectedCost property. Its value is '32'. MSI (c) (0C:28) [14:54:47:881]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding MsiSelectionTreeSelectedPath property. Its value is 'C:\Program Files (x86)\My Company Name\My Product Name\First\'. But If I define a condition for the ChangeFolder button depending on the value of MsiSelectionTreeSelectedFeature property, it has no effect. I read that on https://community.flexerasoftware.com/showthread.php?204196-Use-MsiSelectionTreeSelectedFeature-in-CustomSetup-dialog: "I found out the solution: we must use the SetProperty event on the Tree to set a property.". I tried doing that, but it did not help. Does anyone know how to handle this? Thank you
