I just walked through the code and figured out a way to do it with a preprocessor extension, but I didn't come up with a way to do it directly.
The WiX preprocessor was inspired by the C/C++ preprocessor, but WiX doesn't include tokenization which is how this is performed in C's preprocessor. -Blair -----Original Message----- From: Maillet, Ed [mailto:email...@unum.com] Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 2:28 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Var's building vars? I seem to have the strange need of building a preprocessor variable from another preprocessor variable which doesn't seem to be supported (not that I am surprised by that). I'm trying to do: <?define projectName = "X" ?> And then elsewhere: <?define FileName = "$(var.$(var.projectName).TargetFileName)" ?> <File Id="File1" Name="$(var.FileName)" ... /> The idea being only the project name is the variable and the rest are resolved. Am I missing something obvious this late in the day for another way to do this? ----- Ed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
