I have an xml solution detailed here.
It simply requires putting properties you want into an xml. The MSI consumes
the xml at runtime.
<Properties>
<Property Name="test" Value="blah"/>
<Property Name="test" Value="blah"/>
<Property Name="test" Value="blah"/>
</Properties>
the example i have on the web is written in vbs (yeah i know most of you
dont like it, but due to IP reasons I cannot share the managed version my
current project I had to sign NDA's not to release.) Most of you in here
seem smart enough to replicate this functionality using real code.

This example is very old and should be rewritten anyway but the concept is
clear and functional. (could do with some error trapping)
