That bug was about adding support to the wixstdba to parse the command-line arguments passed via Command and convert them to variables automatically. That bug was really a feature request and Bob fixed it when he added support for the `Overridable` attribute to `Variable` element.
There is no scheme for handling standard installation folder today. Didn't see enough common ground across installers to define that in Burn yet. Definitely do not use "burn." in your names. Burn will eat all those. After that, there aren't a lot of changes planned to the command-line to avoid collisions outside of the "burn." "namespace". :) On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 6:35 AM, ptr <ptrajku...@gmail.com> wrote: > hey all > > In my managed bootstrapper I can get access to command line parameters via > Command.GetCommandLineArgs(). > > ParseCommandLine@src\burn\engine\core.cpp seems to parse lot of burn > standard command line parameters and pass the rest to my BA.
