jfx:native - MSI installer change request

[Danno Ferrin]

Would a "pass through" of certian command line arguments work?

I'm not terribly familiar with WiX but does the order of the command line arguments (other than the relative order of the same command) matter?  i.e. if we insert a user supplied string at a single point would that get you as far as you need?
