Windows Installer - User Interface Form Visual Studio Deployment Project

Question

When you Include a User Interface Dialog Form as part of a Visual Studio Deployment Project (as seen below) When the user runs the installer and completes the text boxes where are these values then kept?

I thought the values would be in the registry somewhere but i can't seem to find them...? Is there away to right the values into a file? or into the Settings.settings file of the application being installed?

Answer 1

They are not kept anywhere. If you want to save them you need to do it yourself. It's straightforward just to create a registry entry in the setup project's IDE where in the value part you put property name in square brackets, such as [EDITA1]
