Pass them as public properties to the MSI. From one of my bundles:
<MsiPackage Id="SomeProduct" Compressed="yes"
SourceFile="$(var.SomeProduct.TargetPath)" Vital="yes">
<MsiProperty Name="ACCOUNT_NAME" Value="[AccountName]" />
* * *
</MsiPackage>

Subject: [WiX-users] How to reference variables within an msi that are set in
bootstrapper app
How can I reference in my MSI a variable that I'm passing in from my
bootstrapper. For example, I have the following text in my bundle.wxs file:
within Bundle
<Variable Name="baVersion" bal:Overridable ="yes" Type ="string" Value
="123456789"/> within MsiPackage <MsiProperty Name ="baVersion" Value
="[baVersion]"/>
In my MSI where ever I have $(var.msiVersion) I would like to use the
Msiproperty variable baVersion from my BA bundle.wxs. Is this possible?
Examples are greatly appreciated.
Thanks InAdvance
