Hi all
It's been one month and i am working with windows Installer in order to make an installation package for my software.
I am trying to get some configuration data frm user during installation and write them into a .ini file.
Not all data are written into the .ini file.
What i have already done is :
is made a Top dialog Graphic with text fields, each is associated with a property i have already created.
later on i write in the ini file settings the following lines:
[CGI Interface]
HTTP Port=[CGI]
[CSP interface]
Telephony System IP=[system]
CSP IP=[CSP]
after compilation ad installation, Telephony System IP is always empty eventhough user enters a value for it during installation.
So where is the problem.

I notice that you specified the property for Telephony System IP in lowercase, whereas all your other properties are in uppercase. Perhaps it might be worth a try using
Telephony System IP=[SYSTEM]
As an aside, personally I would have chosen a different property name than "system" ... there's always the potential for this property to clash with a directory property in the Directory table.
How about using (say) [TSIPADDRESS] as your property, and see if that works ?

Do you initialize this property in the Property Table ? If so, is it in uppercase in that table ?
In your dialog, are you making sure the property is also in uppercase ?
Finally, in your INIFile table, is the property in uppercase as well ?

Well i can not see the property in the property table since when i created it i gave it no value so it is not saved.
the reason i did nt write any value is that i don't want tha the user sees these values during installation.
I will try again with givin initial values and apply the steps u mentioned then i 'll give my feedback
Thanks for the help

Well i tried again:
i checked if the property name in bothe INItable and PropertyTable and Dialog do match
Beside that in the PropertyTable the property value is initialized to 1 and that appears during the installation...but if i change it in the dialog then i do not see the changes in the INI file.
by the way i am confroting the same problem whil updating xml files.
i could upload the log and exe, msi files but i don't have enough priviliges

well right now it's working.
What i did is the following:
in INI file i had only one section name
before that i had also for every entry a section name
beside that i initialized all the created properties eventhough it does not look beautiful for a user
I hope sch an approach remains stable.
Best Regards
