After looking with a fresh pair of eyes this morning I realized the error might have to do with something else; the actual line looks more like:
<?define pathVar = "[%%CommonProgramFiles]\path\to\folder;[%%CommonProgramFiles(x86)]\path\to\folder" ?> and the error also goes away when I remove the "(x86)" but leave the square brackets unescaped, could the parenthesis be causing the error? The value that gets inserted into the MSI when we get the error is: [%CommonProgramFiles]\path\to\folder;[%CommonProgramFiles(x86)]\path\to\folder;[~] And you're saying that an equivalent statement would be: [CommonFiles64Folder]\path\to\folder;[CommonFilesFolder]\path\to\folder;[~] which would be in the same order as the statements above, correct? That version might be simpler as it goes through without error. Thanks!
