Today your custom BA has to do that. There is no "SetVariable" element like
there is SetProperty element for MSIs.

The VS BA does do that. NETFX does not use Burn today.

I have a custom BA and would like to support "change" from ARP, am I correct
that I can change settings passed to the bundled MSI's by calling
IBootstrapperEngine::Plan(BOOTSTRAPPER_ACTION_MODIFY)?
Are there any problems I should be aware of?

Yes, exactly. Your BA can also have Burn use "BITS" (change the protocol
handler to "bits:" instead of "http:") which uses winhttp but that
typically has even crazier issues with proxies. wininet is nice because if
IE can get to the URL (and IE is everywhere Burn is) then you can rule out
proxy nas
You mean because of burn using wininet (with default proxy fro IE I
guess) he could use firefox without any problem and IE not?
I'll ask him to try to use IE and see the result.
Thanks.

It's a difference of focus. Much like conventional unit tests, LUX is designed
to validate the logic of your immediate custom actions. It's not really
designed to validate your installer overall. Those would be validation tests,
not unit tests anyway.

Hello John,
Thanks for the response.
Couple of other questions though:
-How do you test the entries in AppSearch, RegLocator etc tables i.e the
data contained in standard tables in windows installer?
The msi built using Lux does not contain so many standard actions required
to process such table
