IN preparing the additional documentation I stumbled across my error. My product.wxs file include statement was "<?Include InstallOptions.wxi?>" instead of "<?include InstallOptions.wxi?>". No build errors were thrown to bring attention to my keying error. However after correcting the case of the "include" statement all is well with my build.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Clarification for Defined WiX Variables defined in and used by included (wxi) files Some sample code that demonstrates the problem might be in order. I've defined preprocessor variables in .wxi include files before and successfully used those values in the .wxs file that included them. Edwin G.
