Thank you for your answer. I may not understand your reply correctly but I was looking for a way to keep a variable in one place for various projects. In other words, currently I have product version variable for future upgrade in wxs file but I need this information in other parts of my code which is in C/C++.
In Wix: <?define ProductVer="1.0.2"?> In C/C++ project: #define ProductVer "1.0.1" The thing is that I tend to forget to update this variable in both places so sometimes my app does not work correctly and it takes time to figure out where I did wrong. :-( I am not looking for a way to retrieve these information from installed product but looking for a way to define one variable in my VS solution so that I could somehow use it from both Wix and C/C++ projects. If that was what I meant, I am sorry but could you give me one example of API? Thank you very much.
