The MSI documentation for 'formatted' strings is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368609(v=vs.85).aspx
If a substring of the form [#filekey] is found, it is replaced by the full path of the file, with the value filekey used as a key into the File table. The value of [#filekey] remains blank and is not replaced by a path until the installer runs the CostInitialize action, FileCost action, and CostFinalize action. If a substring of the form [!filekey] is found, it is replaced by the full short path of the file, with the value filekey used as a key into the File table. This syntax is valid only when used in the Value column of the Registry or the IniFile tables. When used in other columns this syntax is treated the same as [#filekey] . -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Difference-between-FileId-and-FileId-reference-tp7594213p7594215.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
