Hi Romeo,

it's quite simple:
The bootstrapper will probably start "msiexec /i installer.msi",
right? Simply append TARGETDIR="InstallLocation" to it and you're
done.

For any other property, you can do the same: make the property public
by writing it all uppercase inside your wxs files, assign a reasonable
default value and pass the desired value from the BA.

Regards,

Dirk
