Does anyone know how to read values from the property table in a Deferred InstallScript CA?   Even for public properties MsiGetProperty returns an empty string.

We have a number of scripts which need to be run deferred because they have corresponding rollback scripts which are always run deferred.

As far as  I can see, there are two workarounds.
1.  Store the values in the registry instead of properties.
2. Have a script which copies the properties into global variables before the deferred scripts are run and hope they stay in scope.

Does anyone know a better way?
