You don't need to had the <SuppressIces/> element to your .wixproj first.
If you do not want to suppress ICE by default then don't include the <SuppressIces/> element. When you call MSBuild from the command line and specify /p:SuppressIces="..." you'll still get the behavior you want. Be aware that if you do add a <SuppressIces/> element to your .wixproj and you specify a different set of values on the command line, then the only ICE to get suppressed will be the ones specified on the command line. In other words, the values are not merged together. Also, MSBuild will not let you change a property set on the command line. Assume the .wixproj has <SuppressIces>ICE82;ICE03</SuppressIces> If you specify /p:SuppressIces="ICE01;ICE02" on the command line, then the only ICE suppressed are ICE01 and ICE02. If you want all four to be suppressed, then you'll need to specify all of them on the command line with /p:SuppressIces="ICE01;ICE02;ICE03:ICE82". Using the following in the .wixproj doesn't work because property values specified on the command line cannot be changed: <SuppressIces Condition=" '$(SuppressIces)' != '' ">$(SuppressIces);ICE82;ICE03</SuppressIces> <SuppressIces Condition=" '$(SuppressIces)' == '' ">ICE82;ICE03</SuppressIces> Edwin G.
