Software Deployment

Greetings all!

I'm using the following WiseScript custom action to try to do a little text handling on a property value and then pass the new value back into the MSI.

When I add DisplayMessage items to it, I confirm that it runs and I confirm that it is making the change that I want...

However, the property doesn't seem to get changed inside the MSI.

The custom action is set to run Synchronously - and I have it in the same If-block as one of the dialogs if NOT Installed and NOT PATCH.

Any ideas?

The custom action is pasted below.

Thanks in advance,
