But now I want use selfdefined variables in my own wixlib. Therefore I added a new .wxi file to my .wixlib solution. At the moment it contains one variable: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Include> <?define appIcon = ".\Bitmaps\icon.ico" ?> </Include> Now I am trying to use this variable inside of my .wxs file: <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <Binary Id="App_Icon" SourceFile="$(var.appIcon)" /> </Fragment> </Wix> But if I try to compile this code I get an error: "Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.appIcon)'" What do I wrong? I can not find any documentation about using .wxi files. Maybe anyone can help me? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
