We have a MSI setup.exe on a URL and we are wondering if there is any way parameters or properties can be passed to the Setup.exe.

Plan A:
There is a setup.exe project w/source code in the Platform SDK. You will need to modify the source and recompile it to pass in arguments that it doesn't already understand (such as /a).
Plan B:
If you don't like that idea, you can use MsiStuff.exe to add property information into the existing setup.exe and then author a custom action in the MSI file to handle the property(ies).
We wanted to output a verbose log from the setup.exe so we went with plan A!
