Hi All, i am stumbling around with my first Wix Project using variables. Could someone explain when i had to use $(var.xyz) and !(loc.abc)?
Why i couldn't write things like that in my Directory Attribute? <Directory Id="unique <ende?lp=ende&p=thMx..&search=unique>_id$(var.abc)" Name="$(var.abc)"> Error: Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.abc)'. <Directory Id="unique <ende?lp=ende&p=thMx..&search=unique>_id!(loc.abc)" Name="!(loc.abc)"> Error: The Directory/@Id attribute's value, 'unique_id!(loc.abc)', is not a legal identifier. Why i couldn't write $(var.name) in my Source Attribute, <File Id="_id" Name="FileName.dll" Source="$(var.name)\WPF.Controls\WPF.Controls.dll" /> but !(loc.name) works? <File Id="_id" Name="FileName.dll" Source="!(loc.name)\WPF.Controls\WPF.Controls.dll" /> All "var"s are defined in a include.wxi not in a .wixproj file All "loc" are defined in WixLocalization file. Wix Version 3.0.5120.0 <3.0.5120.0/> Best regards Kai-Uwe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
