Re: [WiX-users] Pass data into localization wxl file
Thanks again Bob. I looked at the docs for the Product element and it is not clear to me from this URL whether the Name property, for instance, is formatted or not: Product Element http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_product.htm If you know what marks a field as formatted please let me know, or if im looking at the wrong documentation, please let me know as well.

Re: [WiX-users] Pass data into localization wxl file
Thanks for the info Bob - but what determines whether a localized string is formatted or not? I just tried $(sys.CURRENTDIR) and that is not evaluated either! Is there any way to get outside information into localization files? I cannot have any language-independent static parts otherwise, which seems like a rather large limitation to me.
