Yes I already do this, but I was trying to get the value so that it could be appended to a property that gets passed to the main installer. Since what gets passed to the install will override what defaults gets set in main install those and therefore you lose the entries. I'll figure something out that involves the least amount of extra work on my side..
Thanks.

In WiX v3.8 you could maybe write a BA function (though I've never tried that myself). Although if you're just going to pass it to the MSI, why not have the MSI get the variable. Windows Installer reads environment variables. _____________________________________________________________ Short replies here.
