MSI optional file installation

Dear experts,

In current installation package we would like to have a command line switch
to optionally install help files and a single supporting exe file. Main
program is installed obviously.
At the moment we have manually modified the property table to do so
(experimenting). If anyone has insight on how to access MSI property table
entries via command line switches, it would be highly appreciated.

all the best,
