And more importantly, how would I write tests for these extensions? Can I invoke the core somehow via a unit test or do I need to write a little XML and test the output a-la blackbox testing?

Subject: [WiX-users] PreprocessorExtensions and accessing them from one another Hey everyone, I'm trying to write a new preprocessor extension and have it internally access the instance of another preprocessor extension already instantiated by the compiler. Can I do this or do I have to evaluate the function within my XML and have that value passed in as an argument into my new extension? It would be along the line of Ext1:addStuffToContainer("hello", "test123", "anotherValue", "hello2", "bob", "rob", ...) Ext2:doWork("hello") Instead of having to do Ext2:doWork(Ext1:getContainerStuff("hello", 3, 4, 2, ...)) And Ext2 could enumerate over Ext1's contents and get something out of its container/bucket. I would really prefer to do this with as few "glue-code" pieces in the XML as possible.
