Before you release a new version, you should fix your bugs in InstallShield 11 Premier which partially exists since MultiPlatform 4.5!

I think this is a bug.. in version 11. Not sure if this is the place to put this but here goes. if you declare a string var at the class level, in a custom dialog, then set a string in the initialise dialog via (

class ...... dialog {

private String installLocation = null;

public void initializeUIDialog(ISDialogContext context) {

installLocation = context.getServices().getISDatabase()
.getVariableValue(DESTINATION_VAR_NAME);

// a bit of debug, to test code, returns ok with the string?
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
installLocation);



}

// the class is still valid at this point?
public void queryExitDialog(ISDialogQueryContext context)
{

// a bit of debug, to test code, returns null?
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
installLocation);
}

then try and use this class var in another event it returns null, even though the value has been set if you use joptionpane to check it was set?

if you add the set code in the event it works? for the sake of effiency I would like to do this type of thing once, and then use it throught the dialog.

try making it a static variable. Does it work?

private static String installLocation = null;
