We do this for our merge modules :
In the MSI xml, set up PropertyName with the value you want to pass :
<Merge
Id="MyMergeModule.GUIDHERE_4857_92DF_E3ED_411836DFE2BC" DiskId="1"
Language="0" SourceFile="MyMergeModule.msm">
<ConfigurationData Name="MyName" Value="[PropertyName]" />
</Merge>
In the merge module xml
<Configuration Name="MyName" Format="Text" Type="Property"
DisplayName="MyName" Description="The name"
ContextData="SetupParameters" DefaultValue="Fred" />
You can then use MyName to access the value of PropertyName passed
through from the installer. This is for text. Change Format and Type
to pass e.g. a directory name or a number.
I believe this to be an example of configurable merge modules.
