Does it mean there is a bug in WiX MSBuild-related stuff or it is not
implemented?

I've modified by wixproj file to take parameters from the commandline
and pass them into WiX:

You need to add something like this to the BeforeBuild target:

    <CreateProperty Value="MyVariable=$(MyVariable);$(DefineConstants)">
      <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="DefineConstants" />
    </CreateProperty>

And then you can do:

        msbuild myinstall.wixproj /p:MyVariable=????

John
