InstallAware

Hi,

I can not seem to get the 'Remember value when restarting setup' option to work on a variable. I would like to use the last value of it during the uninstall, but displaying its contents in a message box shows it to be empty when uninstalling. It actually had a value during setup because it passes the value to a custom program which successfully writes it to a database.
I've definately got the check box checked because the variable is called a 'Persistent Variable' in the script.

Does another setting need to be adjusted to recall the value?
Any ideas?

Thanks,

ab

Make sure you are not re-initializing the variable value by executing Set Variable again during a maintenance or uninstall script flow. Check that MAINTENANCE=FALSE before calling Set Variable on it, there's a place in the default script where this check is already performed so you could just inject your persistent declaration code there.

Hi michael,

The MAINTENANCE conditional got it to work.

Thanks again.
