For example, I have the following text in my bundle.wxs file: within Bundle <Variable Name="baVersion" bal:Overridable ="yes" Type ="string" Value ="123456789"/> within MsiPackage <MsiProperty Name ="baVersion" Value ="[baVersion]"/> In my MSI where ever I have $(var.msiVersion) I would like to use the Msiproperty variable baVersion from my BA bundle.wxs. Is this possible? Examples are greatly appreciated.
