You could write something that reads the Properties and save them somewhere and have something else in your MSI that reads those saved properties. That could be done in CustomActions. Just take a little bit of design work.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Making an MST at install time... Then what would I have to do instead in order to have the same effect? (Would I have to have a bootstrapper create my second MSI, say?) The reason I ask is that the program I'm writing my setup for could be installed on multiple machines that connect to the same database. The first installation should be able to save the database settings somehow so that future installations on different machines don't need to have the database information re-entered. --Curtis On Sun, 26 Oct 2008 11:49:46 -0700, "Rob Mensching" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > A transform (MST) is a diff between two MSI files.
