My example depended on having the CollabNet distribution of subversion. Find out where svnversion.exe lives on your system.
I expect <Message Text="Version: $(Revision)"/> to print something like the following: Version: 5425 Are you declaring DefineConstants in the same target where <SvnVersion/> runs? If not, then $(Version) will contain the default value (empty string) and cause problems. Perhaps I can be of more help if you show me your *.wixproj file. Edwin G.
