[wix-users] Logging password variables using WiX managed bootstrapper - A serious blocking issue

[manogna reddy]

A small correction to the mentioned scenario

When I try to pass the variable '*password'* from command line , value will
be shown  in the  log file as below . In my scenario it should hide the
variable value irrespective of case

  *[61D0:39C0][2019-05-01T12:07:15]i009: Command Line:
'"-burn.clean.room=Setup.exe" -burn.filehandle.attached=596
-burn.filehandle.self=648 /s /i USERNAME=abc  password=12345'*
