Hi Not sure if there is a Wix way to do this.
However you could use some vb or java script to open the xml file and read it into a single text string, and then open the MSI database (after it is built) and add the property and its value (the text string) into the property table. Primative but would work. One issue (which you may have thought of) is that using SqlString SQL may attempt to interpret xml characters as SQL string characters.
