Re: [WiX-users] Howto override variables from a file using MSBuild/VS2012
OK. Does the easy way to do it involve TFS? On 08/10/2013 01:03, Blair Murri wrote: Yes, that can be done. In fact, I did it last month.

(Not sure if this is a msbuild or WiX issue):I have a WiX Setup project in vs2012 (WiX3.7) that I already has eight different language/bittage build configurations. I want to override variables for source paths without having yet another build configuration or having to check a file out, edit the default value and then build. This is mainly so someone, probably not me, can build the existing installer with a different set of resources/content. So I thought I might be able to have another project in the same solution that could set these variables and then build the 'main' installer project where I have a 'ifndef variable' which will override if the variable exists already (and so if you just call the main installer wixproj you get the defaults).

Sorry, I grabbed the link from the author's website. I didn't search deeply for the latest edition (despite the fact that the edition I own is the second).

Yes, that can be done. In fact, I did it last month. Someone knowledgeable with MSBuild would be able to set that up in a short time.
