I am trying the same thing and I don't understand your response :(

I am doing MyBurnEXE.exe MYVAR=Something

Then in the MSIPackage:
<MsiPackage Id="MainInstall"
                      DisplayName="$(var.ProductName)"
                      SourceFile="$(var.OutDir)MyMSI.msi"
                      Name="RedistTMC\MyMSI.msi"
                      InstallCondition="some install condition"
                      DisplayInternalUI="no"
                      Visible="no"
                      Cache="no"
                      Compressed="no"
                      Permanent="no"
                      Vital="yes">
            <MsiProperty Name="MYVAR" Value="[MYVAR]" />
          </MsiPackage>

In the burn/bootstrapper log file I see cmdline: 'MYVAR=Something blah
blah...'
so I know it is being picked up,

But later on in burn/bootstrapper log file I see the MSI being launched and
has arguments: ' MYVAR=""

I even tried <MsiProperty Name="MYVAR" Value="MYVAR" /> but that literally
took the value as MYVAR :(

What am I doing wrong?

thanks,

Steve
