Re: [WiX-users] Property in localized string?
If you don't mind "polluting" your Property table, you could create MSI properties importing your relevant MSBuild properties: In your WIXPROJ file (under an appropriate element): MyProperty=$(MyProperty);$(DefineConstants) In your WXS (in an appropriate location): Your !(loc.blabla) needs to be in a Formatted field, of course, since the [MyProperty] substitution will then occur during "runtime", but most fields that are shown to the user are (like dialog titles, dialog static text, etc.). -Original Message- From: A.Rios [mailto:cosasvar...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 9:34 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Property in localized string?
If your string is named "MyLocString" in your WXL file, use "!(loc.MyLocString)" in your authoring. -Original Message- From: A.Rios [mailto:cosasvar...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 4:29 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Property in localized string? Hi. We are in the process of updating our previous installation framework to Wix and have encountered a minor problem. As a part of our deployment process we use a custom MsBuild script and a string to identify the program being installed (something like "1.2 Build.3 Rev 4") and I want to use it in the localized strings in UI. I already have a Property defined with that string in the .wixproj file but I don't know how to use in the localization file (I think I've tried with every combination of square brackets, exclamation mark, var. env. and wix. prefixes ;-) Where I can find more information?

Hi. We are in the process of updating our previous installation framework to Wix and have encountered a minor problem. As a part of our deployment process we use a custom MsBuild script and a string to identify the program being installed (something like "1.2 Build.3 Rev 4") and I want to use it in the localized strings in UI.
