In a .net "Setup Project", it is possible to add one or more custom screens in the setup wizard, with fields (e.g. text boxes) where the user can enter additional installation parameters.
A custom field can then be passed to a "Custom Action" class library project, to handle the user field. The image below shows how the property "ServerName" gets mapped to the EDITB1 text field:
Within the Custom Action class, the property is accessed as follows:
string serverName = Context.Parameters["ServerName"];
Question: how can one specify multiple properties (for multiple text boxes) to the Custom Action?
As per the documentation for CustomActionData
regarding passing multiple values:
Multiple values must be separated by a single space: /name1=value1 /name2=value2. If the value has a space in it, it must be surrounded by quotation marks: /name="a value"
