I have been struggling to find one simple example of defining a preprocessor variable in the wxs file.
Currently, If I Append this to my candle command line: -dMyVar='foo.exe' then references to $(var.MyVar) in wxs work. But no matter how I define MyVar in the main wxs, they are not found. Why does this not work, defined in my main project wxs? <WixVariable Id='MyVar' Value='foo.exe' /> Until that works, I can't hope to reach my goal of using an environment variable (ExeName): <?ifdef $(env.ExeName) ?> <WixVariable Id='MyVar' Value="$(env.ExeName)" /> <?else?> <WixVariable Id='MyVar' Value='foo.exe' /> <?endif?> CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any attachment hereto may contain confidential information of Meyer Sound Laboratories, Incorporated and is intended for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) only.
