You won't end up with the property in the Property table because it doesn't have a value but now the compiler will know not to decorate the property wherever you are using it.

Is there any way this can be done in WiX 3? I'd like to use a type 51 custom action to set the property, but can't get an undecorated property name; it doesn't seem to make a difference whether the property name is defined outside of the custom action or not. I'd hate to have to script up removing the guid after the merge module is compiled! thanks Alan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
