I don't think you can use a property in that attribute. The Attribute "name" is defined as a LongFileNameType. Which is described as follows:
Values of this type will look like: "Long File Name.extension". Legal long names contain no more than 260 characters and must contain at least one non-period character. The following characters are not allowed: \ ? | > : / * " or less-than. The name must be shorter than 260 characters. The value could also be a localization variable with the format !(loc.VARIABLE). So it appears you could use a localized variable and if I'm correct I think you can use <String Id="InstallSharePoint">[INSTALL_SHARE_POINT]</String> I did notice that your proptery reference looked strange Name="[ INSTALL_SHAREPOINT_PORT]" I would think would be Name=[INSTALL_SHAREPOINT_PORT]> hope this helps -Michael Clark -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-refer-WIX-properties-within-wxs-files-tp5537053p5538268.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
