And it this case, how could I escape the values by hand? I was trying to create my own Bootstraper but i cannot use .NET for it since in production it may not be installed on every machine. Also I downloaded the source code for wixstdba with the attempt to modify it :D but I didn't get to far with that. What would your suggestion be?
