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.

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. > I just tried $(sys.CURRENTDIR) and that is not evaluated either! That is a preprocessor variable; localization strings are processed much later than the preprocessor. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
