In your MSI you might want to look at the 'remember property' pattern. I
have found these posts helpful:

limitations on the Cabinet attribute on the Media tag. I note that it only
seems to have come up when using light ; candle doesn't seem to care. In Wix

Hi,

While this is a answer to changing a different file attribute
(File/@Keypath), you would need to do something similar.

I have heat.exe from Wix 3.8.1128.0 (RTM) working well against many, many C++

One brief clarification is that I run the wix bundle (with multiple msi

That information is already in the log, typically in your %temp% folder.
But for the specific question on how to set a property using another

I've been on this for a few hours now. I'm trying to write an upgrade. From
what I understand, it should be as simple as adding a MajorUpgrade section with
