I would like to use a WixVariable for things such as my product name and version, package description, comments.
Looking at the WixVariable element it seems it can have these parents: Fragment, Module, Product. When I try declaring my WixVariable's as child elements of Product before my package I get a schema validation error: error CNDL0107: Schema validation failed with the following error: The element 'Product' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi' has invalid child element 'WixVariable' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'. List of possible elements expected: 'Package'. I then tried creating a separate.wxs file containing a <Fragment> along with my variables. This didn't work. Is there a way to make my variables work for the Products and Packages? Ideally I would like to be able to declare these variables under the <Wix> element. If this can't be done it seems the documentation should be updated. I couldn't find examples of using WixVariables in the documentation. Something like this would be nice. <WixVariable Id="CompanyName" Value="Acme" /> <Directory Id="CompanyDirectory" Name="!(wix.CompanyName)" /> Keep up the great work! --dave __________________ David S Smith Urban Science- Junior Software Developer 200 Renaissance Center - 18th Floor Detroit, MI 48243 Phone: (313) 263-3661 [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
