What I'd like to do is simulate the MSI install screens with a custom BA, and
have a check box to create desktop shortcuts on the UI.  Currently in my MSI
package I create the desktop shortcut based on the checkbox variable from
the MSI.

<Component Id="DesktopShortcut"
                 Directory="DesktopFolder"
                 Guid="{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxE822}" >
        <Condition>CREATEDESKTOPSHORTCUT</Condition>
        <CreateFolder/>
        <RegistryKey Root="HKCU"
                     Key="Software\company\product"
                     Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
          <RegistryValue Name="DTSC"
                         Value="1"
                         Type="integer"
                         KeyPath="yes"/>
        </RegistryKey>
        <Shortcut Id="DesktopShortcut"
                  Name="product_name"
                  Description="product description"
                  WorkingDirectory="working dir"
                  Target="path to exe"/>
      </Component>

Is there some way to pass a variable to the msi package element to create
this component based on the checkbox value from BA?

Thank you.
