Simon, Thanks for your help. I didn't want to bore people with the details of what I was doing. But basically I was hoping that I could build the .WXS file and have "Building" it helping me write it. But saying this I was going to output the various environmental variables when it went to build it. Then knowing what the values were I was hopefully going to then be able to use them.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] </warning </error messages? votive Why do you need it? First try if just increasing the msbuild verbosity helps (/v: flag to msbuild.exe), Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Build and Run -> MSbuild project build output verbosity in Visual Studio If that does not help, you can add whatever messages you like either in your .wixproj file (or if necessary in wix.targets) On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 8:21 PM, Borchert, Phil <phil.borch...@mckesson.com> wrote: > I've been trying to figure out how to output to the "Output Window" > during the building of the .WXS file?
