Hi, I've been working on a bootstrapper with a customized UI and I cannot figure out a way on how to "translate" the burn built-in variables from the engine to the UI.
You can see the list of the variables here: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/bundle_built_in_variables.htm I'll try to explain the situation here: (Before you make remarks, note that this isn't the actual code I'm using) 1. I have a variable defined in the Bundle.wxs like: <Variable Name="FooVariable" Type="string" Value="[DesktopFolder]\Foo\Bar" bal:Overridable="yes"/> 2. I read the variable in the C# customized UI from the engine in the UI like this: String fooString = Bootstrapper.Engine.StringVariables["FooVariable"]; 3. Then I show the install path variable, let's say in a message box MessageBox.Show(fooString); 4. The messagebox says: [DesktopFolder]\Foo\Bar But I wish it showed: C:\Users\Example\Desktop\Foo\Bar To put it verbally, I would like to make the UI not to say the name of the burn built-in variable, but the actual path to the e.g. desktop folder. Is there any possible way I could do this? Is there any workaround? I would't like to programmatically fetch these folders in the UI. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
