You can implement the bootstrapper to launch the .msi package using
the command line
msiexec /I {package.msi} PROPERTY1=value1 PROPERTY2=value2.
However, if you do this, you have to manually manage all specific
scenarios (upgrade, uninstall, patch, etc).
A better solution is to encapsulate the code to retrieve specific
information in custom actions and drop the bootstrapper altogether.

Subject: [WiX-users] Burn: Planning: package customization
Hello.
I want to write Bootstrapper Application that gathers information about
DataBase, COM+ user etc. so I need to pass this data to appropriate package
(.msi) when it actually executes. I could find <MsiProperty> child node
nested into <MsiPackage> which allows pass data and it couldn't be changed,
but I didn't find any possibility to make it works in BA. None of Planning
events receive data to customize package. Is there any alternative way?
Best regards!
Vadym.
