Determine Property value?
I'm trying to figure out a property value in an MSI. During the msi install you are presented with a list of scanners. I have been unable to determine the value of the scanner that I want to install. I can't figure out how to attach a screenshot or add an html table to this message so you can see the Control table. I'm pretty certain that the Property is CONFIGSCANNERTEXT. This property is also in the Property table. Any ideas?
This is ugly but here is the text copied from the Control table
Dialog Control Type X Y Width Height Attribute Property Text Control Next
ScannerList Cancel PushButton 301 310 66 17 3 Cancel ScannerListBox
ScannerList Back PushButton 164 310 66 17 3 < &Back Next
ScannerList DlgDesc Text 15 18 292 46 65539 Select a scanner from the list. You can choose to configure your scanner later. If your scanner is not in the list, choose to configure it later and use the Scanner Configuration Utility to configure your scanner. Select Next to continue.

If you do verbose logging of the install, at the end of the log it will list what the properties resolved to.
Install the MSI with logging, pick the scanner you want, and check the log for the value.
Is that what you're looking for?
You could also dissect the dialogs to find this out. But the above way is easier.

heres another thing to try as a CA in the appropriate spot in your sequences .
msgbox session.property("Yourproperty")
msgbox session.property("Yourproperty")
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
