Pass information from bundle to msi

Question

We need to capture serial numbers from users during bundle installation and automatically flow this value down into MSI packages.

Currently, the typical WiX approach is to define MsiProperty on each inside the bundle.
However, this creates a burden: every bundle author must explicitly add these mappings, which we want to avoid.

Our goal is to automate this information passing in our custom bootstrapper (via the SDK), so that bundle authors don’t need to modify their bundles.

Is there a way to automate the property flow from the bootstrapper to the MSI using the SDK itself, so that no explicit MsiProperty definitions are required in each bundle?

Thanks in advance

We have implemented a change in the custom compiler to automatically add the required MSIProperty whenever serial numbers are configured in the setup. With this update, setup builders no longer need to manually define the property under MSIPackages
