Hi I have a bunch of files that need to go into my .msi. I am using Wix 3.6 and VS2012. So all my files have release in the path to the source. I have seen uses of things like $(var.foo) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set them. I'd like to save myself potential problems by creating a variable for the build configuration so I can put it into all the source file paths for my files.
So I need something like this: <variable name=FOO>release</variable> <= part I cannot find in the schema reference or the tutorial : : <Component Id="C__2134E2C4B1417DD6D8122E1831D917DD" Guid="{532B4785-BBB8-68E5-C7AD-66967CE47B20}"> <File Id="_2134E2C4B1417DD6D8122E1831D917DD" Name="ConfigEdit.exe.config" KeyPath="yes" DiskId="1" Source="..\ConfigEdit\bin\$(var.FOO)\ConfigEdit.exe.config" /> </Component> : : Thanks for any help and sorry for the dumb question, but I really need something even more basic than the tutorial. The tutorial is a good, but sometimes I felt like some of the explanations of the elements left out which element this one could be inside of. The tutorial needs to show the entire section of XML so the new user (me) gets a clue as to where to put it. ]Monty[ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
