[wix-users] How to resolve warning CNDL1149

[Andreas Hirth]

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.
