I didn't think to pass the command line through to the BAFunction and there isn't a built-in variable containing it. I can see it would be useful, I'll take a look at the code and see how hard it would be add it (probably should pass in m_command and m_plannedAction). Could you add a feature request so it can be tracked?

In the BAFunction DLL (under a debugger) I can use this-> to access member variables including this->pEngine. But I am trying to drill down and check what was passed in on the command line. The debugger shows my test string in m_pEngineState.command.wzCommandLine. So the tree in the debugger is: this m_pEngine [CEngineForApplication] m_pEngineState command wzCommandLine "Var=Test" My hope was to be able to detect this command line value in OnStart or OnDetect. Any ideas on how to do this? Declaring a variable in the wxs file as Overridable is not detected until OnDetectComplete, so I was hoping for earlier detection to alter my configuration tests which are implemented in OnDetect. Any thoughts are appreciated. My backup plan is to use the registry rather than a command line switch, which should work. The higher level problem is that sometimes this bundle will be deployed as a product and sometimes it will be deployed as a child of another non-Wix configuration process, and in that situation I need to signal to the bundle that it does not need to enforce business rules, which are necessary when deployed as a standalone product. I appreciate the assistance (and the added capability of the BAFunction.DLL in the Wix 3.8 tool set.)
