Steve,

        I am defining them in a WXI file using the <?define?>
preprocessor construct.  They are then referenced in one or more WXS
files (each WiX project are broken into multiple WXS files).  Should I
be using a different method?

Where are you defining the preprocessor variables you would like to have
access to in the pre and post build steps?  In the wixproj file? in a
wxs?

Subject: [WiX-users] using preprocessor variables in pre/postbuild steps
in VS2005 

Everyone,

            I am currently using WiX v3.0.2925.0.  I have a few projects
that use local preprocessor variables.  I may need to pass one or more
of these on to pre- and post-build steps in Visual Studio 2005.  So far
I have been unable to do so.  From reading the documentation, there are
WiX variables that can be passed as far as I can tell.  However, it does
not seem that user-created preprocessor variables can be passed with the
version of WiX v3 that I am using (that or I am not reading the
documentation closely enough).  Is there a way to do so, and does it
require a more recent build of WiX v3?  Thank you for your time.
