installshield has automation interface (32bit com based). can use api make programmatic changes installer project. installshield supports command line builds using iscmdbld.exe.
typically of in realm of build automation using msbuild or nant. both allow write custom tasks in c# can interop com automation interface.
for example use tfs uses msbuild (which installshield has native support via .isproj files ) build installer. in scenario can use dynamic properties in msbuild generate guid , can use path variable overrides point source. build target builds installer.
a bunch of ways skin cat depending on environment.
