Thanks, had a chance to test with this last night, and inside a custom BA, I was able to access the BootstrapperApplication.Command that you referenced, which is what I was looking for.
Just wanted to confirm one other thing regarding usage of the Command struct. While I was able to access it via a custom BA, I didn't see that there was a way to access it when using the "WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" bootstrapper in the Bundle.wxs. Is it correct to say that the Command struct can only be accessed via a custom BA, and can't be accessed using the "WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" bootstrapper? -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 11:31 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
