Well, if the download is generic - just a file on a server - then I
don't see how you can do this. However, if you are running a Windows
server (ASP) theoretically I suppose you could make the download script:
- Make a copy of the msi file on the server
- Use the MSI Automation interface to open the database, write a value
to a property, and then close the database
- Serve that file up to the user
- Delete the copied files after download or on a cron job
I have never attempted to do this so don't ask for particulars, but
maybe that will get the thought process going...

Subject: [WiX-users] changing setup at runtime
Hi,
I need to add some information to my setup at runtime. So that
every user who downloads the setup, get a unique setup. Basically I need
to embedded a GUID in the setup, and when it runs, I want to write this
guid to registry or some file. Any pointers on how to achieve this.
I heard about changing resources in the setup at runtime... or
maybe updating property in MSI. I can either put this guid in the
bootstrapper (setup.exe) or MSI
What do u guys think?
