I want to initialize the "Domain" edit in the "Logon Information" dialog with the name of the computer on which the installer is running. I tried setting the control's "Default Value" property to "ComputerName" or "[ComputerName]", or to "COMPUTERNAME" or "[COMPUTERNAME]", but when I run the installer all I see is this exact text, instead of the actual computer name. What is the syntax to have the variable name substituted for its content?
Thanks

Re: Initial value for edit control in dialog
Hello Hans,
The property that stores the computer name is [ComputerName]. The reason why that is not working is because that field does not support Formatted Type references.
To achieve what you want, you can proceed as it follows:
- Go to "Dialogs" page and click on "LogonInformationDlg".
- Under "Init Events" tab, create a new event by pressing the "New..." button.
The newly created event should look like this:
Set installer property value:
- Property: DOMAIN_NAME
- Argument: [ComputerName]
- Condition: 1
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Catalin
