Did you define the property in you MSI and declare it as Secure? Ex (with remember-me pattern in place):
<Property Id="BUNDLEPROVIDERKEY" Secure="yes"> <RegistrySearch Id="FindBundleProviderKey" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\$(var.ApplicationKeyPath)" Name="BundleProviderKey" Type="raw" /> </Property> ... <CustomAction Id="SaveCmdLineBUNDLEPROVIDERKEY" Property="CMDLINE_BUNDLEPROVIDERKEY" Value="[BUNDLEPROVIDERKEY]" Execute="firstSequence" /> <CustomAction Id="SetFromCmdLineBUNDLEPROVIDERKEY" Property="BUNDLEPROVIDERKEY" Value="[CMDLINE_BUNDLEPROVIDERKEY]" Execute="firstSequence" /> ... <Custom Action='SaveCmdLineBUNDLEPROVIDERKEY' Before='AppSearch'/> <Custom Action='SetFromCmdLineBUNDLEPROVIDERKEY' After='AppSearch'>CMDLINE_BUNDLEPROVIDERKEY</Custom> -----Original Message----- From: Edwin Castro [mailto:egca...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2015 11:51 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Predicting Bootstrapper Cache Location Jacob, You mentioned something interesting that I can't get to work. I tried <Chain> <MsiPackage SourceFile="$(var.projectName.TargetPath)"> <MsiProperty Name="BUNDLEPROVIDERKEY" Value="[WixBundleProviderKey]"/> </MsiPackage> </Chain> But BUNDLEPROVIDERKEY is always empty in the msi log. Should I expect that to work? -- Edwin G.
