Hi,
Is it possible to iterate all properties in .Net custom action, so we can create a list of used properties?
Thx.

Re: Iterate properties
I want to collect all setted properties and send to our server.
I know, you have a custom action for this. But there i have to single choice all properties. I was wondering if it can collect all properties in a .Net Custom action.
In the log of a failed installation, there are all listed. So I was wondering if I can also do this in my custom action.

Re: Iterate properties
Hello Derrin,
You can achieve that by developing your own custom action that will get all the installer properties from the "Property" table of the MSI installation database. The custom action can be scheduled during "Install Execution Stage" as an immediate custom action.
Have a look on the "Get-MsiDatabaseProperties" article. However, please note that this script will list only the properties defined into your MSI database at build time. If there will be properties which are defined and set at install time only (i.e. set from command line), those properties are not in the "Property" table, thus will be missed.
