You are exactly on the right track. Your extension will implement a prefix
of "Blah", will respond to a function named "GetValue", and that function
will return the value from Core.GetVariableValue("var", args[0]);
Before your extension is called, "$(lang)_cost" will be replaced in the

Maybe I don't understand the GetVariableValue method, but it seems to need a
prefix and a variable name. What if I want the normal variables with the
prefix of "var" like $(var.myVariableName)? I didn't see any options to get
the variables you defined in the wix source. Like I was thinking of

You can retrieve the values of variables that already exist using the
GetVariableValue methods of the PreprocessorCore class, but the list of
variables itself isn't available.
You can create functions in your extension that can combine text or whatever
and retrieve variable values (or even error o
The docs for MsiEnableLog talk about an option to force immediate flush of

That is exactly what I explained. With UAC on, the user token you launch the
