I've modified by wixproj file to take parameters from the commandline and pass them into WiX: You need to add something like this to the BeforeBuild target: <CreateProperty Value="MyVariable=$(MyVariable);$(DefineConstants)"> <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="DefineConstants" /> </CreateProperty> And then you can do: msbuild myinstall.wixproj /p:MyVariable=????
