Have your BA set a burn variable. Use this variable as the Value of an MsiProperty element.
-----Original Message----- From: victorwhiskey [mailto:victorhwhis...@yahoo.com] Sent: 16 November 2012 14:27 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Is it possible to pass variables to the msipackage element based on UI from custom BA? What I'd like to do is simulate the MSI install screens with a custom BA, and have a check box to create desktop shortcuts on the UI. Currently in my MSI package I create the desktop shortcut based on the checkbox variable from the MSI. <Component Id="DesktopShortcut" Directory="DesktopFolder" Guid="{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxE822}" > <Condition>CREATEDESKTOPSHORTCUT</Condition> <CreateFolder/> <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\company\product" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall"> <RegistryValue Name="DTSC" Value="1" Type="integer" KeyPath="yes"/> </RegistryKey> <Shortcut Id="DesktopShortcut" Name="product_name" Description="product description" WorkingDirectory="working dir" Target="path to exe"/> </Component> Is there some way to pass a variable to the msi package element to create this component based on the checkbox value from BA?
