Hi I've created a Visual Studio Setup project which generates a .msi file that installs a windows service. That worked perfectly fine. It also asks for the user/pwd for the windows service identity during the installation process.

My problem came up later. I was modifying the setup project to ask for more information to the user so I can use it to modify my config values. I followed this Scott Gu article [http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/06/15/tip-trick-creating-packaged-asp-net-setup-programs-with-vs-2005.aspx][1] to create the appropriate custom action.

I want the users introducing a string value during the installation process that I will later process to modify my config files. What I'm looking for to introduce a simple string. Though everytime I run the installer I get and exception saying: "Could not access network location" after introducing the string.

Is there any way to avoid this checking? Is is possible to pass any value as parameter?
