TARGETDIR and SourceDir are Windows Installer concepts, standard Directories. Documented in MSI SDK.
Those $(var.) things are WiX concepts, preprocessor variables. Documented in WiX.chm (Preprocessor topic). You can see the preprocessor variables passed by Votive to candle.exe on the command-line in VS. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Ding [mailto:jd...@geo-slope.com] Sent: Friday, December 12, 2008 07:51 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] use wix variables Hi, My setup project is Setup.wixproj, in the .wxs file, can I use $(var.TargetDir) or $(var.ProjectDir) to refer to the related path? For the target directory, I have this section before I use the var.TargetDir so I assume I don't need to redefine TargetDir variable, is this correct? <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> What about ProjectDir, is that defined by default? What I need to do is using Wix variables to refer to the current setup project location so other resources can be located in each component, so if someone could confirm var.TargetDir and var.ProjectDir are the correct usage that would be great. I am using Wix 3.0.4721.0. Thanks in advance.
