WiX4 bootstrapper: Right way to define boolean command line argument

I'm aimed at setting an argument like /DefaultMode, just a shash + name of a command, without passing a value like DefaultMode=1. I motivated by default wix arguments like: /install | /repair | /uninstall.

case 1:
<Variable Name="/DefaultMode" bal:Overridable="yes" Value="NotSet" Type="string" />
returns an error:
error WIX0014: The Variable/@Name attribute's value, '/DefaultMode ', is not a legal identifier. Identifiers may contain ASCII characters A-Z, a-z, digits, underscores (_), or periods (.). Every identifier must begin with either a letter or an underscore.

case 2:
<Variable Name="DefaultMode" bal:Overridable="yes" Value="NotSet" Type="string" />
unfortunatelly but passing argument .\Bundle.exe DefaultMode equals to Variable: DefaultMode = NotSet

Solution

You'll need a custom BoostrapperApplication to process your custom command-line. The standard BoostrapperApplication handles setting variables on the command-line like DefaultMode=1.
