Re: [WiX-users] Best Practice for using Variables

Hey Kai-Uwe, I imagine that the varible definations are not correctly declared in your wixproj file. What you have listed below should work with $(var.xxx). The !(loc.xxx) and !(wix.xxx) is used later by lit or light to replace the variables for localization or wixlibs. Thanks, Brian Rogers "Int

Re: [WiX-users] ShellNew/FileName

Be sure to include them in the s

[WiX-users] ShellNew/FileName

It seems like Wix doesn't support the ShellNew/FileName registry key under Extensions in order to allow Windows Explorer's New command to create a new file. Is it better to start with what Wix does provide using Extension and then add some extra registry keys to extend it or to do the whole set

Re: [WiX-users] Running WiX tools from Cygwin, environment variables

If you use a .wixproj, you can run msbuild /v:diag and it will show all the variables for the process - whether environment variables or project variables. Details about writing a .wixproj file (wraps all the candle, light, etc. commands into a build project) can be found in wix.chm. On Fri, Apr 3
