If you need to reference a property from another you could try using setproperty.
So keep what you have here but swap the Property element for a SetProperty one. <SetProperty Id=" DestFilesFolder" Value="[INSTALLLOCATION]\Website\App_Config " After="AppSearch " Sequence="both" /> -----Original Message----- From: chennam [mailto:chatrapathi.chen...@gmail.com] Sent: 28 February 2013 14:58 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Copy File Setting source and destination property valuesetting Hi, I want to achieve copy file and was able to do when I am setting the destination and source folder property values hard coded. But when I try to do using the property value like "[INSTALLLOCATION]\Website\App_Config" it does give an error saying "could not find the location". And [INSTALLOCATION] value is provided through command line when installing MSI package as installation location. Can any one help in setting the custom based property value. <Fragment> <Property Id="DestFilesFolder" Value="[INSTALLLOCATION]\Website\App_Config" /> <ComponentGroup Id="CopyFiles"> <Component Id="CMP_LOG4TXT" Guid="341BD660-7249-42DD-9744-DBEF0776AD52" Directory="INSTALLLOCATION"> <File Id="File_installme" Source="C:\Workspaces\Chatra\Website\CBUDirect.Web\App_Config\basic.log4net.P roductionBuild.config.xml" KeyPath="yes"> <CopyFile Id="Copy_LOG4TXT" DestinationProperty="DestFilesFolder" DestinationName="basic.log4net" /> </File> </Component> </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Copy-File-Setti ng-source-and-destination-property-value-setting-tp7584031.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Everyone hates slow websites.
