 Subject: [WiX-users] Passing securing information from the bootstrapper to
 an MSI bundle without logging

 Hi all,

 I'm sure this has come up in the past, but I can't seem to find any info
 that tackles this scenario.

 How do you pass secure information from the bootstrapper to the MSI bundle
 without it being logged?

 I've seen the articles for burn hidden variables and msi hidden
 properties, but nothing that passes values from one to the other without
 being logged.

 The msi package installs and configures a windows service. The service
 must run using a windows user account. Atm, the account credentials are
 being passed to the msi through the command line (which is logged).

 The one approach I can think of is to reconfigure the service after the
 msi has been installed (I don't know if that would affect the uninstall).

 Is there a better approach?

 Thanks,
 Kevin
