In that case, look at the "Preprocessor" section in the WiX help, it
describes the preprocessor variables (which was what I mentioned), and
also how a similar technique can be used to access environment variables
and "system" variables.
Be aware though, that the $(var.xxxx) format I mentioned is the Wix 2.0
form. I believe the $ character may have been changed to something else
in WiX 3.x so check the documentation appropriate to the version you are
using.
Regards,
Richard

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Reusable properties?
Richard - You're close...I don't want to be able to change anything at
runtime. What I want is a simple way to define a string variable that
will be used in several placed throughout the source file, and then
reference in some way wherever I need to use it. I'd like to do that so
that, if the value changes, I can just change it in one place, instead
of having to try to remember all of the places in the file that its used
and change them all, and possibly miss some. I liked what you mentioned
with the "define" and "$(...)" syntax. If that syntax is accurate, that
may just be exactly what I was looking for.
