Small addition.  You also might want to add a launch condition to check
if extra property is included in the command line:


  Installed OR FILENAME

MSI already supports this exactly as you describe.  Your command line
is correct.  Once you invoke the install this way, the property will
be set to the value given on the command line.  Only public
properties (all uppercase names) can be set from the command line.
