Forcing lowercase

[golf4r]

HI,

I have been able to finish my project with all your good support.

There is only ONE last thing remaining. I want to force the hostname value which is taken from [ComputerName] to be lowercase as it has to be a standard on the servers.

I have not found any option in advanced installer that would permit this kind of operation. Let me know if I am wrong..

I was then looking into imbedding a powershell and pass the value of the ComputerName to it and then lowercase it... but then I am stuck as I cannot find a way to pass the value back to the installer.

Would you have any idea how I could achieve this ?

Thank you again for all the very good support.

You are right. We don't have any built-in support for this.

You can use our "Run Windows PowerShell Script" predefined custom action for this. Please take a look on the getting and setting a property value from the script sections of our custom action help.

If you have any questions or doubts just let us know.

All the best,
Daniel
