[wix-users] Installer dialog guidance

[John Cooper]

Host:port would allow you to build them up in a semicolon delimited string.  Messy, but it works.

Alternately, you could use the semi-custom action pattern and append rows during the install to an exist installer table.  Then, when you're done appending, you could loop over them quite easily during processing.

I use this to build up a list of web sites and SQL Data Sources.  An immediate custom action appends each row.

Hey John,
What might be an approach to build up a collection of strings based on user input here?
A CA scheduled from the button push of a dialog control cant set properties. I don't know how many sets of host/port I will get from the user in this case, so I was hoping to accumulate them and then write them out myself however accumulating them seems to the trick, not writing them.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
