Hi Rajarajn, As you see in the screenshot, there is not way to add the "Set Install Variable" action from the IA's built-in panel. Can you please shed some more light? Thanks and regards, Sam.

For my installer, I have built a dialog in the Pre-Install section, using the standard Get User Input -Advanced panel. In that I am using a Directory Chooser component to allow the user to select a folder where the product should be installed. The value is stored in IA's $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ variable. Right below the Directoy Chooser component, I have a Label component whose value is set to $USER_INSTALL_DIR$\subComponent - with intention that the user can see where sub-components will be installed. When I run the installer, the Directory Chooser shows the default install location, and so does the label. However, when I select a custom location, the value of the label does not change. I have to navigate to the next panel and come back to this panel to see the changed value of the label. How can I use the value of $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ right away after the user selects the custom location? Regards, Shailesh.

Hi, My installer creates a registry entry HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall/ in the 64-bit domain. All fields are set as they should be. However, I see another registry entry in HKLM/Software/Wow6432Node/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall/ also. Most of the fields in this entry match with those in the previous registry entry I mentioned; except that for one field, the value is not accurate - and also one has one additional entry: UninstallString Is the entry in Wow6432Node created automatically? By the installer or Windows? ~S~

Hi, I need some pointers on how to create a custom action that would be executed when the installer is rolling back. I need to do this in order to stop and delete several services that get installed and started. As I understand, the rollback action does not stop/delete the services that get installed. Regards, Shailesh

Here's the issue: My QA team is reporting that when the tester Cancels the operation, a panel from the Post-Install phase is displayed; which is not desired. I am trying to put a rule in the Post-Install phase that will prevent this behavior from happening. In the rule, will checking the value of $IA_ROLLBACK$ to be 'false' work? Regards, -S-

Hi, When the user cancel's the installation of the product, is the value of the the IA-internal variable $INSTALL_SUCCESS$ set to indicate that the user has cancelled the operation? Is there any other variable that I can check to figure out if the user cancelled the installation? -S-
