You want to use a public property, for example, [APPPOOLNAME]. The WiX authoring looks like this:
<iis:WebAppPool Id="AppPoolId" Name="[APPPOOLNAME]" Identity="networkService" RecycleMinutes="600" ManagedPipelineMode="integrated"/> On the command line you simply specify the value of the public property, APPPOOLNAME, like this: msiexec /i "Path\to\package.msi" APPPOOLNAME=MyAppPoolName Note, that you can use a LaunchCondition to cause an error if the property doesn't have a value (the condition needs to be specified in <Product/> or a referenced <Fragment/> ): <Condition Message="APPPOOLNAME must be defined."><![CDATA[Installed OR APPPOOLNAME]]</Condition> You'll want to use a condition that makes sense in your case. Alternatively, you could simply provide a default value for your public property: <Property Id="APPPOOLNAME" Value="MyAppPoolName"/> Edwin G.
