Use feature conditions in the MSI with properties passed in by the bundle.

This is still an open question and I am also looking for a qualified answer.

There is a similar question on Stack Overflow
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43917865/how-to-pass-addlocal-parameter-from-wix-standard-bootstrapper-to-a-msipackage)
that has no accepted answer yet. But there is a comment pointing to the commit
(https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/commit/defd78e8a7e37a3b9b36cfaf6dec2af68344d202)
and the related bug (https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5294)
that led to this change. So originally it was about disallowing "ACTION", "ALLUSERS", "REBOOT", "REINSTALL", "REINSTALLMODE", which just did not work as expected before. In the process of getting it right Bob Arnson added ADDLOCAL, ADDSOURCE etc. to the list of disallowed properties.

So maybe Bob or Rob could clarify the reasons for the additional constaints and also tell us: what is the right way for users of the WixStdBa to control the feature selection for the MSI packages in their Bundles if not by setting the ADDLOCAL MsiProperty?

Thanks!
Andreas

(Illegal properties are: 'ACTION', 'ADDLOCAL', 'ADDSOURCE', 'ADDDEFAULT', 'ADVERTISE', 'ALLUSERS', 'REBOOT', 'REINSTALL', 'REINSTALLMODE', or 'REMOVE'.) Remove the MsiProperty element. This restriction will be enforced as an error in WiX v4.0.
