Hey Chris,
I believe the most Windows Installer compliant way to do this would be by
passing a delimited string from an immediate action to a deferred action. In
the deferred action you would need to parse the properties and then you can
write to a file of choice.
I have written something (I call it Property Loader) which saves the values
to a registy location and can also act as an answer file for
installations. Take a look at it here:
