Hi Rob, Your response caught me off guard, so I did some research. I'm using Wix Edit in combination with Windows Application Installer template, so maybe this is a wai thing and not related to wix. (http://www.codeplex.com/wai)
With the wai download there's a "how to" guide. SCRIPTPARSE is a property in the project and below is the explanation of how it works. SCRIPTPARSE List of files to parsed for strings like e.g. @@SQLUSERUSERNAME@@. If strings like this are found they are replaced with a variable collected in wizard mode - see below for detailed explanation Use a comma separated list for several files. All files should be relative to the source folder. (e.g. config.file, lib/another.file) Thx, Craig -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@wixtoolset.org] Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 10:56 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] SCRIPTPARSE question Hmm, I don't know what SCRIPTPARSE is and I don't know why two "\\" would be escaped. Can you provide more information?
