More information... It looks like the Property action isn't being executed by
the time the UI displays the page that I use to verify the contents. Where
should I schedule the CA's so that they come after the Property calls but
before the UI is displayed?
Thanks!

Subject: Conditionally set a property from command line?
I've looked all over and not found a good answer to this.
I'm trying to set a property within WIX to a value set on the command line.
If there's not a command line property set, then it should read the value from
the registry.
But I can't seem to get the syntax right, it either 1) always uses the command
line option (even if it's not set) or 2) always uses the registry value.
Can someone point me in the right direction to solving this?
Thanks!
