Hey Steve,

The way I have done it is to use an all capitalized property name. When all
in CAPS this tells the MSI it is a public property and can be set on the
command-line. I have used "INSTALLDIR" in the past as my property. I believe
there is another common one.

<property id="MYFOLDER" value="C:\MyFolder"/>

It can then be overwritten.

Hope this helps!
