I figured out after reading the wixv2 source code that 'foreach' is inherently disabled. Extending the PreprocessorExtension class is a way to achieve this. Moreover, I found out that, 'foreach only supports direct nesting of a single Fragment element or nested foreach statements.'. Also, with candle.exe, We are supposed to give the Extension_Type (name of the class inheriting PreProcessorExtension) with -ext switch and not the name of extension dll(as is the case in v3). I ended up Gacing myExtension.dll and the referenced wix.dll into the assembly cache for enabling the preprocessor code to load the extension type.
This is something which is really cool in wix v3. No hassle.

Subject: [WiX-users] Using 'foreach' in wixv2 Hi All, <?define LcidList=1033;1041;1055?> <?foreach LCID in $(var.LcidList)?> <Property Id="Property.$(var.LCID)" Value="0" /> <?endforeach?> I was able to use 'foreach' in wix v3. But, when I tried using it with v2 I got the following error: The variable named 'LCID' is not allowed in foreach expression. In the documentation, I read that only LCID is allowed for v2. Even that does not seem to work. Any solution for this.
