I'm using VS2010 and WiX 3.6 to create MSI packages and bundle them into
Bootstrapper setup. Here's my Boostrapper code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
    <Bundle Name="" Version="" Manufacturer="" UpgradeCode="">
        <BootstrapperApplicationRef
Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" />

        <Chain>
              <MsiPackage SourceFile="Package1.msi">
                <MsiProperty Name="PARAM1" Value="[PARAM1]" />
                <MsiProperty Name="PARAM2" Value="[PARAM2]" />
              </MsiPackage>
              <MsiPackage SourceFile="Package2.msi">
                <MsiProperty Name="PARAM1" Value="[PARAM1]" />
                <MsiProperty Name="PARAM2" Value="[PARAM2]" />
              </MsiPackage>
        </Chain>
    </Bundle>
</Wix>

The MSI packages must have the parameters specified in order to run.
Normally, I would call "Packag21.msi PARAM1=1 PARAM2=2". After I build the
project, I try to pass the parameters to my Bootstrapper.exe in the same
manner Bootstrapper.exe PARAM1=1 PARAM2=2, but it doesn't seem to pass them
to the MSI. Installations hang with the missing parameters condition.

Is there a way to pass the parameters from the exe to the msi?
