I'm trying to put a GUID in to a wix variable but can't seem to make it work. I've successfully put the same GUID in to a pre-processor define and it works correctly. Is this a bug in Wix 3 or am I trying to use wix variables incorrectly.
I've declared the define like this: <?define UPGRADE_ID = "5FC4DAE6-D1B9-42D6-BF3A-6DA600FB8A3F"?> And was accessing it like this: <Upgrade Id="$(var.UPGRADE_ID)"> Which worked fine. I've then tried to declare this as a wix variable so it can go in a library project like this: <WixVariable Id="UpgradeID" Value="5FC4DAE6-D1B9-42D6-BF3A-6DA600FB8A3F" /> But if I then try and use this variable in an upgrade section: <Upgrade Id="!(wix.UpgradeID)"> I get the following 2 errors: Error 1 ICE03: Invalid GUID string (Be sure GUID is all UPPER case); Table: Upgrade, Column: UpgradeCode, Key(s): 5FC4DAE6-D1B9-42D6-BF3A-6DA600FB8A3F..0.2.0..256 C:\russell\ServerTools\trunk.wix\IssueChooserWix\Common.wxi 7 1 IssueChooserWix Error 2 ICE61: In Upgrade table UpgradeCode 5FC4DAE6-D1B9-42D6-BF3A-6DA600FB8A3F is not a valid GUID C:\russell\ServerTools\trunk.wix\IssueChooserWix\Common.wxi 7 1 IssueChooserWix Is this the correct syntax to use wix variables?
