Hello,
I am new to WiX and I have done searches for how to use environment
variables in the WiX files but the examples given do not seem to be
working for me. Below is my WXS file I am working with. I am using the
<?define ... ?> directive (?) to set a relative path variable to my
executable. Candle compiles but Light does not link. Here is the output.
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing incorrect here?
THANKS!
