such a simple solution and it worked, thanks for pointing that out! as far as
using multiple files, my intention is to go away from that. i am making heavy
use of the preprocessor so i can reuse components making them slightly
different based on the variables set. thanks again. should i write this up as a
preprocessor defect or was the intention of the preprocessor to ever work this
way?~Jeremy

Jeremy,
Just for stupidity’s sake, is everything OK if you reverse the order of the
second test?
I.e. the second test would become:
<?if $(var.type) = msm ?></module><?elseif $(var.type) = msi
?></product><?endif ?>
Unless I’m missing something, the file would then be “valid” again, since the
product element is opened before the module element could possibly be, and
closed after it, maintaining xml requirements.
Of course… it is a pretty roundabout way of doing things. The fact that you are
running into problems may really be suggesting you need to use wix libraries
instead of msm’s (or wix fragments which are consumed by both independent msi
and msm wrapper files).
Regards,
Richard

[WiX-users] wix and the preprocessor...
I am currently using the stable 2.0 binaries to build my installer. Currently
today i have multiple wxs files, 2 for individual msm's and 1 to include those
msm's to build a few msi's. now, what i would like to do is consolidate down to
a single wxs and still retain the ability to net the same output. unfortunately
to date my attempts have failed to pass candle. let me elaborate: my problem is
actually in the way the <?if><?elseif?><?endif?> are working. heres an example
of what i would like to do, but for some reason these preprocessor commands
arent really preprocessor. <?if $(var.type) = msi ?><product><?elseif
$(var.type) = msm ?><module><?endif ?><package/><?if $(var.type) = msi
?></product><?elseif $(var.type) = msm ?></module><?endif ?> needless to same
candle gives me an error something to likes of module start tag does not match
end tag of product. well i would think that the preprocessor would be able to
handle making sure the proper tags were insert/deleted based on the conditional
statements. so i thought maybe i can move the contents of these to include
files, however include files weren't really meant to be used in this manner. i
get error that says the product start tag does not match the end tag of
include. perhaps i am doing something wrong, hopefully someone can shed some
light on this topic for me. thanks!!~Jeremy
