I might think a generic implementation to support this scenario of allowing 
users to define public property values on the command line and/or in a single 
xml file would involve a customAction sequenced to process right up front 
during install/unstall and simply read the one per line property=value settings 
from the public property "PROPERTYSETTINGS" defined xml file path and applied 
them to the msi session object exposed public properties.

Would you think a person would have to create an extension or simply a custom 
action managed (javascript or dtf managed msi library implementation) that gets 
sequenced to process b4/after ??? to enable this?

environmentSpecificPropertySettings.xml consists of a single public 
property=value pairs on each line that you might have otherwise set directly on 
the command line but would prefer to keep them all in xml file so as to remove 
changes of command line entry mistakes.

Not today.
