Setting custom property in msi file

Question

How to set custom property in a msi file on the fly? I do not want to pass the custom property using msiexec. I want to save the value of the property in the msi file itself based on user log in.

Thanks in advance.

See the USERNAME property. The only options for setting a property are: at authoring time; at the command line (directly or in a transform); and in a custom action. However the information you want may be in one of the properties set by the system.
