Hello Edwin thanks for your response.I had the toolpath there before and it
didnt seem to make any difference, but I added it back again. Actually, I
cut and pasted what you had exactly and it still seems like nothing is
happening??
Couple of questions:
1. Should I see this(Version: =MyRevisionValue) in the output window of
visual studio when I build the wixproj? I have also tried to run it from
msbuild and I dont see anything.
2. Could it be the way I am passing the variables from the wixproj to my
product.wxs file?
This is how I am doing it.
<DefineConstants>Debug;ReleaseDir=..\ProgramName\bin\Release\;SubversionRevision=$(Revision)</DefineConstants>
Any help is greatly appreciated.
