There's the MsiSetProperty API Ref:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370391(VS.85).aspx
Or, if you're doing this from a native windows installer UI sequence, through
WiX, you'd make use of the "Publish" element.
Example:
<Publish Property='PropertyName'
Value='[PROPERTY_VALUE]'>NOT Installed</Publish>
If you want the property to be available from the execute sequence, make it
global by using ALL_CAPITAL_LETTERS and be aware of SecureCustomProperties,
