[wix-users] Persisted hidden variables are written to log file

[Phill Hogland]

If this a typo?     MsiProperty/@Id="ManagementAccountPassword" /> 

I think it needs to be all uppercase to pass in as a MsiProperty public property, so I think your code should be:

Bundle code:
    <Variable
      Hidden="yes"
      Name="ManagementAccountPassword"
      Persisted="yes" />


      <MsiPackage

        Id="MsiPackage"

        SourceFile="$(var.Deployment.Package.TargetPath)">

        <MsiProperty

          Name="MANAGEMENTACCOUNTPASSWORD"

          Value="[ManagementAccountPassword]" />

      </MsiPackage>

Package code:


    <Property

      Hidden="yes"

      Id=" MANAGEMENTACCOUNTPASSWORD " />

Subject: [wix-users] Persisted hidden variables are written to log file

Hi everyone,

I'm passing hidden variables (password) from burn to the msi.
But they are still being written to the log file. How can I hide them completely?

Bundle code:
    <Variable
      Hidden="yes"
      Name="ManagementAccountPassword"
      Persisted="yes" />


      <MsiPackage

        Id="MsiPackage"

        SourceFile="$(var.Deployment.Package.TargetPath)">

        <MsiProperty

          Name="ManagementAccountPassword"

          Value="[ManagementAccountPassword]" />

      </MsiPackage>

Package code:


    <Property

      Hidden="yes"

      Id="ManagementAccountPassword" />


Log file hides it sometimes:
... ManagementAccountPassword=********** ...

But:
MSI (s) (64:80) [17:11:20:294]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding MANAGEMENTACCOUNTPASSWORD property. Its value is 'password'.
...
Property(S): MANAGEMENTACCOUNTPASSWORD = password



Thanks,

Roni (Aron) Fuchs
