Question

I have created a custom task that is used to create SQL compact databases as part of setup. When use InstallUtil to execute this task I use a parameter for the (environment specific) password to use when creating the local database. The problem is that the install log contains the unencryped password which is not good from a security standpoint.

Can I stop parameters passed to InstallUtil from showing up in the install log?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Use the Hidden attribute of a property:

<Property Id="PASSWORD" Hidden="yes" />
