There is no file searching during the build process.  Does the C++ or C# or VB 
compiler search for things during compile?  I think you need some 
makefile/nant/msbuild logic that passes defines to the compiler to get what you 
want.

Subject: [WiX-users] Determine if file exists on build machine

Our application installs a main executable with multiple plugins. Not all 
customers get all plugins so only plugins we compile into our project output 
folder we want to include into our installer package. So basically I want to 
search for whatever plugins exists inside our application output folder from 
Wix and compile those plugins (actually DLL assemblies) into the installer 
package. I thought using if statements in Wix would work, but can't seem to 
figure out how to search the output folder on the build machine, using Wix it 
appears it only performs file/reg searches on the target machine that the app 
is installed on. Is there someway I can accomplish what I'm trying to do? Or 
will I need to write my own search application and call it from some kind of 
custom action?

Thanks for any help you can provide,
guid
