Re: [WiX-users] WixVariables and GUIDs
Hey Russell,
I am not 100% sure but I believe the WiX team works some magic on GUIDs
before the bind/link time. That might be why you are seeing this behavior.
Thanks,
Brian Rogers

Re: [WiX-users] WixVariables and GUIDs
Thanks Brian, this does work (I thought I'd tried this and it didn't before!)
Odd that if I define the GUID as a pre-processor variable it doesn't require
{}'s and if you enter the GUID manually Wix says it doesn't need them.
But it works so great.
Thanks

[WiX-users] WixVariables and GUIDs
I'm trying to put a GUID in to a wix variable but can't seem to make it work. I've successfully put the same GUID in to a pre-processor define and it works correctly. Is this a bug in Wix 3 or am I trying to use wix variables incorrectly. I've declared the define like this: And was accessing it like this: Which worked fine. I've then tried to declare this as a wix variable so it can go in a library project like this: But if I then try and use this variable in an upgrade section: I get the following 2 errors: Error 1 ICE03: Invalid GUID string (Be sure GUID is all UPPER case); Table: Upgrade, Column: UpgradeCode, Key(s): 5FC4DAE6-D1B9-42D6-BF3A-6DA600FB8A3F..0.2.0..256 C:\russell\ServerTools\trunk.wix\IssueChooserWix\Common.wxi 7 1 IssueChooserWix Error 2 ICE61: In Upgrade table UpgradeCode 5FC4DAE6-D1B9-42D6-BF3A-6DA600FB8A3F is not a valid GUID C:\russell\ServerTools\trunk.wix\IssueChooserWix\Common.wxi 7 1 IssueChooserWix Is this the correct syntax to use wix variables?
