[WiX-users] Overriable variable are case sensitve.

2012-08-28 Thread Darwin Baines

I just figured out how this works looking through the WixStdBA source code. This was implemented in time for the RC release on May 21. (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3489809&group_id=105970&atid=642714) To pass command line arguments, it goes something like this:
