[#fileID], where fileID is the ID of the File that you want to include. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368609.aspx for information on the Formatted data type. The WiX documentation normally says something like "This value is formatted" when a string will be processed for replacements in this way (see for example RegistryValue/@Value).
TARGETDIR is a property - to replace a property name with its value in a Formatted string, surround it with square brackets, i.e. [TARGETDIR]. In every use I've seen of it so far, INSTALLDIR seems to be used as a substitute of TARGETDIR. TARGETDIR means something to Windows Installer, INSTALLDIR does not. I'd simply use TARGETDIR everywhere. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pseudonymic Wannabe Sent: 07 May 2007 11:13 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Refer to installed file for Registry Value What is the appropriate way to refer to the file of a component through the Value property of a Registry entry? Eg when registering a COM in InprocServer32 you have to set the Value to the installed .DLL (TARGETDIR\\mydll.dll or INSTALLDIR\mydll.dll). Not quite working for me. -Olaf _________________________________________________________________ Need a break?
