InstallShield provides this functionality via a custom action that was written by the InstallShield developers.
WiX does not currently ship with a "standard custom action" to ready property values from an XML file. If you want this functionality today, you'll need to write your own custom action to do so. I think this would be a great feature enhancement. I would certainly use this feature if it existed. Edwin G.
