Variables can also be set in the Candle Arguments with a -d such as this:
Candle.exe "projectfile.wxs" -out "projectname.wixobj" -dIsWin64="no"
Then, from within the xml, you reference the variable with the $(var. )
syntax such as this line:
<Component Id="C__MYCOMPONENT" Guid="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
Win64="$(var.IsWin64)">
Or, yet another example
<?if "$(var.IsWin64)" = "yes"?>
<Condition Message="You cannot have the 64 bit version of this software
in order to install on this Operating System. Installation will now
abort."><![CDATA[VersionNT64]]></Condition>
<?else?>
<Condition Message="You must have the 64 bit version of this software in
order to install on this 64 bit Operating System. Installation will now
abort."><![CDATA[Not VersionNT64]]></Condition>
<?endif?>

Sorry, somehow managed to respond in the wrong thread:
Variables can be set like this, from my previous example:
<?define SampDir="C:\projects\business\artgallery\sample_src\"?>
<?define SampDiskId="1"?>
<?define SampParentDir=INSTALLLOCATION?>

Hi!
I have found things like this, in example:
$(var.SampParentDir)
But I haven't been successful in finding information about it. Can anyone
point me in the direction where to read up about this or explain it please.
How do I "declare it", init it ..
Regards
