In my Bundle application I have defined a variable to define the installation
folder, I want to initialize this variable to a builtin variable
likeProgramFilesFolder or DesktopFolder, but this doesn't work.
<Bundle Name="My Test Application" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Bryan"
UpgradeCode="C82A383C-751A-43B8-90BF-A250F7BC2863">
<BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="ManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost">
<Payload SourceFile="..\TestBA\BootstrapperCore.config"/> <Payload
SourceFile="..\TestBA\bin\Release\TestBA.dll"/> <Payload
SourceFile="..\TestBA\bin\Release\GalaSoft.MvvmLight.WPF4.dll"/> <Payload
SourceFile="C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset
v3.7\SDK\Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll"/>
</BootstrapperApplicationRef>
<Variable Name="InstallFolderVariable" Type="string"
Value="[DesktopFolder]" /> <Chain> <PackageGroupRef Id='Netfx4Full'
/> <MsiPackage
SourceFile="..\DummyInstaller\bin\Release\DummyInstaller.msi"
Id="DummyInstallationPackageId" Cache="yes" Visible="no"
DisplayInternalUI="no"> <MsiProperty Name="INSTALLFOLDER"
Value="[InstallFolderVariable]"/> </MsiPackage> </Chain> </Bundle>
and this is the Burn Log file where the variable InstallFolderVariable is
defined as [DesktopFolder], is there a different syntax to refer to a built in
variable in Burn Bundle different from package msi? Or it's a bug?
