Re: [WiX-users] Bundle - How to conditionally pass MsiProperty?

Well I think I found a solution (although I did not fully implement the BAFunction yet). If I declare the variable with an empty value, that is acceptable, and then when I use that variable in the MsiProperty, the MSI command line gets TRANSFORMS="", and the install succeeds. So now all I need to

It's not officially supported, but the guards to prevent using wixlibs from other versions of the toolset can be suppressed (in light, it's the "suppress version" (sv) option). I assume that incompatibilities will cause a crash upon load, but I haven't tested that. The place you are most likel
