Thank you for your fast response, John. Now the next question.
I have a pattern below. The language however is really derived from the locale (ex. "en-US, fr-FR, etc."). I pull the Language out in a CA and each component has a <Conditional>LANGUAGE="en"</Conditional> inside of it. I would like to leverage this for our folder structure though. So when $(var.Language) = fr (or FR) we can say $(fun.toUpper(var.Language)) inside of the Directory/@Id or toLower for the file/@Name and then I don't need a second lookup/map set up in our wix preprocessor variable list. So the question is this: Is there a toUpper function available in the existing wix preprocessor extensions? The only documented function appears to be $(fun.AutoVersion(x.y)), as listed at http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/overview/preprocessor.html Cheers, Stephen -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper [mailto:jocoo...@jackhenry.com] Sent: October-21-14 11:32 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

Subject: [WiX-users] Directory ID character case - Does it matter Hey everyone, I've got a large number of directories and files that look like this (pseudo code): <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLFOLDER"> <Directory Id="XXX_FR"> <Component Id="XXX_FR"> <file Name="myapp_fr.exe" Source="!(bindpath.start)/myapp_fr.exe" keypath="true"/> </Component> </Directory> </DirectoryRef> <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLFOLDER"> <Directory Id="XXX_EN"> <Component Id="XXX_EN"> <file Name="myapp_en.exe" Source="!(bindpath.start)/myapp_en.exe" keypath="true"/> </Component> </Directory> </DirectoryRef> .... And the list of language-specific binaries continues ad-nausea. Notice the case difference in the file name and the component/directory ID values. First question, does the CASE of an ID matter? Second, do these equate to public properties if they are all caps? I would really like to stick all of this pattern utilizing the preprocessor foreach. There are hundreds of files, components, and directories that match this exact pattern for us, and the list of languages we are going to be supporting going forward will only get larger. Thanks!
