[WiX-users] Problem with silent installs

You need to be careful with braces because it's a formatted value so they need to be escaped like this: [\[] for left brace and [\]] for right brace (I think that's the syntax). Derek -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chesong Lee Sent: Thurs
