The closest thing we have today is $(sys.PLATFORM) (which the documentation says comes from the Package\@Platform attribute but IIRC actually comes from Candle's "-arch" command-line switch). That doesn't help you with the WixLib which may have been compiled using a separate invocation of Candle, however...
One option is to use a convention that requires referencing platform-specific items (separated by fragments) in your WixLib. That way, you pull in the appropriate condition (that should be relatively clean: you always leave out the parts that are for the other platforms you support) and you may be able to wrap the appropriate fragment in a <?foreach?> to minimize your own coding. I wonder if we also need a "!(sys.)" namespace? That could get ugly if we take it to far, however... -Blair -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 4:45 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
