Hi I have an include file: <?include ..\..\Setup\Includes\Variables.wxi ?> and it has the following: <?if $(var.Platform) = x64 ?> <?define PlatformProductName = "$(var.ProductName) (64 bit)" ?> <?define Win64 = "yes" ?> <?define DotNetFramework40Folder ="[%SystemRoot]\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\" ?> <?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFiles64Folder" ?> <?else ?> <?define PlatformProductName = "$(var.ProductName)" ?> <?define Win64 = "no" ?> <?define DotNetFramework40Folder ="[%SystemRoot]\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\" ?> <?define PlatformProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?> <?endif ?>
I use it in a merge module like this: (I include the include file) BTW I need the " around the exe pathname or the custom action fails... <CustomAction Id="SetEALNBService" Property="EALNBService" Value=""$(var.PlatformProgramFilesFolder)\MYCOMPANY\MYPRODUCTNAME\Services\EnterpriseAuditLogService\NServiceBus.Host.exe" /installInfrastructure" Execute="immediate" /> <CustomAction Id="EALNBService" Impersonate="no" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="deferred" Return="ignore" /> it doesn't work, the logfile has this entry: MSI (s) (70:EC) [18:50:54:003]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding EALNBService.CA23A0DC_B2DE_4F2C_9E74_FD373F99E9D7 property. Its value is '"ProgramFilesFolder\MYCOMPANY\MYPRODUCTNAME\Services\EnterpriseAuditLogService\NServiceBus.Host.exe" /installInfrastructure'. and obviously it doesn't work... (if I hard code the path in the custom action (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)) it works... What am I doing wrong? thanks, Steve -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/define-element-for-ProgramFilesFolder-not-working-in-include-file-tp7580463.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
