[WiX-users] using preprocessor variables in pre/postbuild steps in VS2005

2008-07-17 Thread Antoine, David
Everyone,

    I am currently using WiX v3.0.2925.0.  I have a few projects that 
use local preprocessor variables.  I may need to pass one or more of these on 
to pre- and post-build steps in Visual Studio 2005.  So far I have been unable 
to do so.  From reading the documentation, there are WiX variables that can be 
passed as far as I can tell.  However, it does not seem that user-created 
preprocessor variables can be passed with the version of WiX v3 that I am using 
(that or I am not reading the documentation closely enough).  Is there a way to 
do so, and does it require a more recent build of WiX v3?  Thank you for your 
time.

Where are you defining the preprocessor variables you would like to have access 
to in the pre and post build steps?  In the wixproj file? in a wxs?
