Re: [WiX-users] Wix Built-in Variable escape content

Use Engine.FormatString on the path (in your mba or BAFunctions.dll when using WixStdBA, probably in the DetectComplete handler). In mba something like this: path = object.Engine.FormatString(object.Engine.StringVariables[WixBundleOriginalSource]) Then save 'path' to a string variable for use in
