Thanks a lot for your response. I ended up using option 2 of setting the
pre-processor variable for candle. Since we are building through CoreXT, the
variable [BUILDTARGET] available at build time was supplied as the platform
pre-processor variable to Candle using the sources file.
Following were the steps that were necessary to configure:
1. In sources file, set
USER_CANDLE_FLAGS = $(USER_CANDLE_FLAGS) -dPLATFORM=$(BUILDTARGET)
2. In Wix use <Package Platform="$(var.PLATFORM)" />
Thanks again for your response.
