Set Install Paramater Variable Via Script

Hi,

I currnetly have a project in which I want to prompt the user for the "Servername" where MYSQL is installed.

I have a scirpt working, where I can get the input and msgbox it right back up to the user correctly, but when is set Session.Property("myservername") = Input(...., and try to call myservername later in the install, it diverts back to the default value set in the Install Parameters setting.

I need to know how to set the variable and not have it divert back.

Thank You,

Hi,

You must use a public property instead of private one because properties that are set by the user interface and then passed to the execution phase must be public. A public property must by in upper case. So rename it to "MYSERVERNAME".
