Hey Pankaj, Your subject has MSBuild in the title. Am I to assume that the build process is calling candle and light from an MSBuild task? Are you using the WIX MSBuild tasks? Either way, you should be able to pass variables to candle and light using properties set inside of MSBuild.
if calling via command line candle.exe -dVariableName=$(MyVariableValue) if using WIX MSBuild Tasks set the $(DefineConstants) property to what you want to pass.
