Is it possible to set properties during runtime on a MSI other than using the command line? I'd like to insert a private key into a property, but not through the command line.

Thanks!

You can also read information from the registry, or set a property using a custom action (from a DLL for instance), or of course have the user enter it on a dialog.

yeah, i understand, with the custom actions and such.

I'm trying to see if I can seamlessly inject this key without storing it anywhere. I need it to be passed from installer to installer, but not by the command line.

So no way other than command line for some property to be fed in? (rather than a value fetched and stored in the property)?

Thank you =)

I don't understand what you're trying to do. Do you have some sort of inter-process communication in mind? And what's wrong with command line parameters?
