Looking at the output window, I see this: candle.exe (...) -dMessagesProject.TargetPath=C:\src\Flamingo\Main\bin\Messages.exe which (admittedly after reading the help) lead me to believe that the following might work: <File Id="Messagesexe" Source="($var.MessagesProject.TargetPath)"/> But light.exe fails with: "C:\src\Flamingo\Main\src\setup\MessagesMSI\Product.wxs(14,0): error LGHT0103: The system cannot find the file '($var.MessagesProject.TargetPath)'." Isn't var.MessagesProject.TargetPath still set at this point? -- Rune ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
