Hide and Secure Properties

Fri Dec 28, 2018 12:25 pm

Hi,
I am refering to this documentation article: https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user- ... perty.html

In the descripton for 'Hide Property' there is the note, that passwords might be seen if Debug policy is set to 7.

My questions:
  • What if the 'Secure property' flag is also set? Will the password be logged in plain text or is it encryped?
  • Where can I change the Debug plolicy value?

Hello,
Where can I change the Debug plolicy value?
You can find the Debug policy value at the following registry entry:

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
What if the 'Secure property' flag is also set? Will the password be logged in plain text or is it encrypted?
The property should appear encrypted, not in plain text.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
