Thanks again Bob. 

I looked at the docs for the Product element and it is not clear to me from
this URL whether the Name property, for instance, is formatted or not:
Product Element
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_product.htm

If you know what marks a field as formatted please let me know, or if im
looking at the wrong documentation, please let me know as well. 

Ta, 
Kristjan

Whether it appears in a field that's documented as being formatted. Many
fields are but some are required to be string literals and aren't formatted,
so properties aren't evaluated.

That is a preprocessor variable; localization strings are processed much
later than the preprocessor.
