Well, this sounds like a good workaround, but I wanted to do it Install
Shield style, where you can just place parameters (like %blabla%) and assign
them to MSI properties.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Passing Parameters to a SQL file

How many parameters are you talking about?  If it's just a few, why don't
you use a sqlstring action to put them in some temporary table in your db,
read them out with your scripts and get them that way.  SqlScripts are not
designed for passing in parameters and they most likely don't have access to
regular MSI properties because I believe they run deferred.
