That actually does help, and what I have learned is that case sensitivity is
the issue here. If, on my install, I have "mydomainname=domain\account" (and
provided I make the change that Rob suggested below), I will see the command
line. But if I have it "MYDOMAINNAME=domain\account", the value will be
appropriately hidden.
Why is WIX so inconsistent about case sensitivity? In my example above, the
wrong case screws up whether or not MYDOMAINNAME is hidden or not. But passing
in lowercase certainly does work internally (the value for the variable is set
properly). That seems wrong.

My only guess would be to do something like:
<Property Id="MYDOMAINPASSWORD" Hidden="yes" />
That may or may not work for command-line properties.

Subject: Question about logging from a WIX install
I have an MSI file created via WIX. In there, I install some services. For
these services, I need a domain account name and password. This information is
passed in to my MSI via the command line of MSIEXEC (egg. "msiexec /qn /I
MyInstall.msi /L*vx c:\install.log MYDOMAINNAME=domain\account
MYDOMAINPASSWORD=MyPassword").
In the log file, I want to hide instances of the password. I have found I can
do that by making sure the property is hidden, and by using the
"HideTarget='Yes'" tag on my CustomAction (when I look in the install.log file
at the point where the custom action is being run, the password is correctly
hidden). The problem is, very much near the top of my install.log file is the
full command line. It says "Command Line: MYDOMAINNAME=domain\account
MYDOMAINPASSWORD=MyPassword". Well, this somewhat defeats the purpose of
trying to hide this information.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how the command line can be truly hidden in
the log files?
Thanks,
Andy
