Have you checked out the tutorial at

The other thing that you could try is defining your constants in a wix
include file (.wxi) and then including it in your main wxs file. This
way your build environment just generates the wxi file and does not
touch your main wxs file. Just another approach to consider...

It might be better to just use preprocessor variables in your WiX files and
then pass in those values when you call the MSBuild NAnt task. In your wxs

There is currently no support for this and it is probably not going to be

No, that functionality currently does not exist, but it would make a good
feature request. The fact that it removes the queue on rollback in your example
below is IMO a bug, please file it at SF. However, I can't promise it will be
fixed in WiX v2, you might have to do a workaround.

So is it possible to write to these variables as well? I'd like to be
able to pass in a property on the command line (or from a custom action)
that will set the state of the feature tree for a custom install. The
goal is to make it simple for admins to script installations that deploy

Don't set a value to the property at all. The checkbox is checked based on
whether the property is

You can write the custom action that will check the path selected /

I suppose that in silent mode the default path is correct so it
