Inline PowerShell can't pass or access properties

Following multiple guides and posts and neither is working for me. Included screenshot.

Here is the Parameter values text:

"--productName [ProductName]"

Here is the script code:

Code: Select all

Param($productName)

echo $productName

$appDir1 = AI_GetMsiProperty APPDIR

echo $appDir1
Thanks

Re: Inline PowerShell can't pass or access properties

Hello,

Please take a look at our Getting a property value into a script (for deferred custom actions) article.

Code: Select all

-firstPsParam [FIRST_MSI_PROP]
If your property contains spaces, you must include it in quotation marks:

Code: Select all

-productName "[ProductName]"

If you still can't get this to work, please send us the .AIP (setup project) file by email to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can further test and investigate this.

Best regards,
Liviu

Re: Inline PowerShell can't pass or access properties

My PowerShell version was 6, does this make a difference? I installed PowerShell 7 alongside but when I check $PSVersionTable.PSVersion in the inline PowerShell Action, it still says 6. How do I change the version it points to?
