maybe i need to do something more

maybe i need to do something more Yes, you do. You need to write the property name in all upper-case! Your Property table entry would then look like this:

Property Value
====== ===
CP_SERVER whatever the name is goes here

Then, use the command line I posted earlier.

I allredy do that,only I put in value servername,and when i instaling i`m tying to write another server name but it dosnt work,so i know that that value dosnt mean anything,i just need to know when instaling server name,but it dosnt work:
msiexec /i "programm.msi" CP_Server=comp123
and after instalation it shows anyway my computer name,and if i try to install on another pc it shows that pc name

OK, so now it sounds like there is a Custom Action in the MSI which is setting that property to be the installing workstation's ComputerName. Search through the MSI in Orca or InstEdit (or whatever MSI-authoring tool you are using) for the string 'CP_Server'. I'll bet you find it in theInstallExecuteSequence table.

You can only specify public properties from the command line. public properties are easily recognised: they are in all upper-case. So, presuming that the property exists in the MSI's Property table and is indeed named in all upper-case, your command line needs to be:msiexec /i "program.msi" CP_SERVER=name

In order to pass properties on the command line (CP_Server in your case) they must be public properties - which must be all upper case - so CP_Server isn't a valid property.

I'm not sure if you can have underscores but you can try CP_SERVER=name on the command line, otherwise you'll have to check the documentation or preferably have a look in the property table of "program.msi" to find the correct property name...

Edit: Damn, you beat me to it!

I allredy named in property that server like that,but may be,if i added two new registers,i maybe need to make two writes in property,but i know that i can put only one whith name like that so i confused

OK, it sounds like you want the contents of that property to be used in a couple of registry entries. Is that right?

in property manager i writed CP_server and server name,so it should use that name to configure the server but it dosnt
