Wix: Property change in dialog is ignored during installation

Question

I have a property in a Wix file that is exposed for editing in a dialog. In the sample below, it's "MyProperty". This property is used to create a registry key. However, if the property is changed in the dialog, the changed value isn't used, but the default one is: "SomeProperty". However, if I display the property on another dialog, the value is displayed as the value the user entered.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I believe you need to use a public windows installer property. Public properties are all caps, e.g. [MYPROPERTY].

Answer 2

Your property needs to be both Public and secure

<Property Id="MYPROPERTY" Value="SomeProperty" Secure="yes" />
