Re: [WiX-users] Creating Unique GUIDs inside a foreach block?

I like this option. However, when I try using syntax: Guid="$(var.Guid.$(var.ENVIRONMENT))" I get a error "Undefined preprocessor function '$(var.Guid.$(var.ENVIRONMENT))'. (note I have also tried syntax 'Guid="$(var.Guid$(var.ENVIRONMENT))" ' , no period between Guid and $(var.ENVIRONMENT)
