Heat is documented in the help file. It is not really designed to be
used in a build process, it is mainly used for you first pass at

He-he, nope, this references the local TEMP as well, I've tried this.
I've also browsed the forums for this info, and the best approach I've
found so far is to search the system registry for the key
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment, and
the value TEMP underneath.
As horrible as it may be, I've been reading system environment values out of
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment for about 4 years
now and there haven't
been any support issues (both XP and Vista). I don't use this for setting

We have an MSI that combines several features together. Let's call them

Suppose we have FeatureA installed, and want to add FeatureB. Is it possible

You need the *v to get it all. I never bother with logs any other way.
