Hi everybody, After reading the reply to another post, I switched variables like the product version to preprocessor variables, which is pretty much what I have been looking for (since I only localized the version to reuse the variable).
I'm still wondering though if I might have missed a reason why the product version cannot or should not be localized?

Legal version values should look like 'x.x.x.x' where x is an integer from 0 to 65534. package.wxs(20) : error CNDL0010 : The Product/@Version attribute was not found; it is required. I'm using this line for the product version: Version="!(loc.Version)" Candle works fine if I pass the version as a parameter and use this line in the wxs file instead: Version="$(var.Version)" Is there a reason why the version string cannot be localized? Even though the version would be the same in every language, I would still like to keep it in the wxl file to reuse the variable to e.g. set the installation directory based on name and version.
