You can override wix variables via command line in WixStdBA, but in Managed BA you can't.

On stackoverflow thread there is an information, that you can override variables in wix bundle via command line parameters. But as I can see, this is done for WixStd Bootstrapper Application, in method ProcessCommandLine, and there is no possibility to override variables for Managed Bootstrapper Application. I know that I can parse arguments manually in my MBA in OnStartup method. This would be nice to have this functionality for all types of applications, so it seems to me that the logic for parsing command line arguments and initialization of the wix variables should be placed somewhere in the burn core, or engine, or whatever else, where it will be available

Is this still planned for 4.0?

[rseanhall]

It's in the 4.x milestone. The 4 means it will not be accepted in the wix3 repo, the .x means no one has signed up for it so it's not scheduled for a release.

Oh, OK - thanks for the prompt reply!
