Hi Walter,
I am not able to accomplish this, please help me out. I am doing the below
Steps:
1. From C# code I am setting environment variable as shown below,
System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("DRAFTVERSION", "1.2.3.4");
2. In Installer Project's Properties under Pre-Build event Command line, I have
written the below line.
"$(WiX)\bin\candle.exe" -dSvnVersion=%DRAFTVERSION% -out
"$(ProjectDir)\Product.wxs"
3. In Product.wxs
<Product Id="*" Name="MyProduct" Language="1033"
Version="$(var.SvnVersion)" Manufacturer="MyManufacturer"
UpgradeCode="335459EF-2345-4CD7-8EDA-59996E3333C3">
I am getting below error.
Undefined Preprocessor Variable.
Please let me know if I have missed something.
Thanks and Regards,
Chetan.
