[WiX-users] Token Replacements in WXS

Hi, We need to do token replacement in the whole file using WIX and I was wondering whether this feature is available in wxs or not. For e.g. I have a text file which has $(Serverersion) at 10 places and I want to replace all the values in the text file using token replacement feature if any

Hey Pankaj, Why would you use WiX and the preprocessor for this? Why not just use a text replacer? Do you need this to be automated? You could add var. in the toke and then yes, you could use the preprocessor. $(var.Serverversion) and then pass the value to candle.exe on the command line

You could also use an environmental variable and set it before running the installer. $(env.ServerVersion) *Mike Rerick* *Sr. Software Engineer* [image: Google Docs] http://www.iwsinc.com*ImageWare Systems, Inc.* 9200 S.E. Sunnybrook Blvd., Suite 170 Clackamas, OR
