Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: votive Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jakob Marager (jmarager) Assigned to: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Summary: MSBuild properties to Votive variables Initial Comment: You are supposed to be able to call Votive projects with a command like: msbuild.exe /p:DefineConstants=Var1=blah;Var2=blah2 However this fails, since only Var1=blah are transferred to wix as a variable. Var2=blah2 are set as a seperate property and can not be refferenced. If this should work, another seperator than ';' should be used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Date: 2007-02-28 12:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1054914 Originator: NO You have to use quotes in passing in through the command line. This is standard MSBuild behavior and not related to WiX at all. The semicolon is how you delimit properties. You need to have the following: msbuild.exe /p:DefineConstants="Var1=blah;Var2=blah2" Sorry for not being explicit in my previous example. I've verified that this works. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1670786&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
