In my example MergeModule project attached, I name my shortcut folder with a
localization string which doesn't completely resolve:
<Shortcut Id="English.Help.Shortcut"
Name="!(loc.RhinoHelpShortcutTitle)"
Directory="ShortcutFolder">
</Shortcut>
That localization variable is defined in a .wxl file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WixLocalization Culture="en-us"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization";>
<String Id="RhinoHelpShortcutTitle">$(var.RmaProductName) Help</String>
</WixLocalization>
The variable RmaProductName is defined in a .wxi Include file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Include>
<?define RmaProductName="EnglishHelpTest"?>
</Include>
When the MergeModule is compiled, the shortcut has name
"$(var.RmaProductName) Help"
rather than
"EnglishHelpTest Help"
Is this a known fault with WiX version 3.0.5217.0
or have I made a mistake in expecting this substitution to happen?
