declaring a variable as a boolean

Fri Feb 14, 2014 6:23 pm

I created a function call to a dll and am setting up parameters to pass in.
on is a Boolean, which shows I am passing a Boolean, I set the default to FALSE, yet in the property table, it shows as a string. how do I get it declared as a Boolean and stored as one. I wonder if that is part of my issue.

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

The Property table contains the property names and values for all defined properties in the installation.
Please keep in mind that installer properties are strings.

If you have other questions, please let us know.

It seems it would be wise to convert booleans to "UpperInvariant" and then test for TRUE or FALSE in IA.
