Re: [WiX-users] Build from command line
So you are saying it is not possible? I don't know; I'm no expert. Rather than pass in two variables embedded in 'MyVariable' can you not just pass Name1 and Name2 as variables in their own right? CreateProperty Value=Name1=$(Name1);Name2=$(Name2);$(DefineConstants) Output TaskParameter=Value PropertyName=DefineConstants / /CreateProperty And then msbuild myinstall.wixproj /p:Name1=value1 /p:Name2=value2 Regards, John - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
