The service dependency in the MSI file's ServiceInstall table is Formatted type, so [PROPERTY] should work. Does a log tell you that it's being set? And if it's from the UI phase is in the SecureCustomProperties list?

I'm trying to install a service with a pile of CORBA dependencies, which, unfortunately are dynamically generated and based on the name of the PC. I've set my variables, e.g. <?define ITCONFIG = IT iona_services.config_rep.$(env.COMPUTERNAME) cfr-DOMAIN ?> Within my <ServiceInstall...> </ServiceInstall> block i have tried: <ServiceDependency Id="[ITCONFIG]" /> and <ServiceDependency Id="$(var.ITCONFIG)" /> ...neither of which works. To verify the variables, i tested $(var.ITCONFIG) in the ServiceInstall description argument and it was OK. Any ideas? -glenn p.s. thanks Phil + Yan for the last answers! :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
