I think you need to code it as: <Text SourceFile="$(var.PACKAGE_ROOT)\License.rtf" />

So to achieve that instead of copy the rtf to each of the project directories I'd like to so something like <Control Id="AgreementText" Type="ScrollableText" ... <Text SourceFile="$PACKAGE_ROOT\License.rtf" /> </Control> And then run candle with something like candle -dPACKAGE_ROOT="c:\package\resource" ui.wxs But this doesn't work as PACKAGE_ROOT doesn't get replaced. Is there anyway to pass in this variable for substitution to candle? cheers, James ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
