I believe the Environment WiX element maps to a row in the Environment table. The Name column only allows for a text string (which is not further evaluated) and not a formatted string (which allows property replacement), so I think you are hosed but I could be wrong.

Howdy, folks. I'm trying to accomplish the following (without success): <Environment Id="Framework.Configuration.Path" Name="[TARGETENV]" Value="[TARGETDIR]Configuration\Framework.dtsconfig" Action="set" System="yes" /> This creates an environment variable named [TARGETENV] *not* an environment variable of the name specified in the installer form's edit field. I can understand Id not supporting property expansion, but I'm hosed if Name doesn't. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just something "thou shalt not"? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
