My product wxs starts as this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?define VERSION="0.3.0"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
<Product Id="*"
Name="!(wix.ProductName) !(wix.TheVersion)"
Language="1033"
Version="!(wix.TheVersion)"
Manufacturer="My Company"
UpgradeCode="!(wix.UpgradeID)">
<Package InstallerVersion="200"
Compressed="yes"
Description="!(wix.ProductName) !(wix. TheVersion) Setup" />
<WixVariable Id="ProductName" Value="My Product Name" />
<WixVariable Id="UpgradeID" Value="{5FC4DAE6-D1B9-42D6-BF3A-6DA600FB8A3F}"
/>
<WixVariable Id="TheVersion" Value="0.3.0"/>
This fails to compile with the following errors:
Error 1 The Product/@Version attribute's value, '!(wix.TheVersion)', is
not a valid version. Legal version values should look like 'x.x.x.x' where x
is an integer from 0 to 65534.
C:\russell\ServerTools\trunk\IssueChooserWix\Product.wxs 4 1
IssueChooserWix
Error 2 The Product/@Version attribute was not found; it is required.
C:\russell\ServerTools\trunk\IssueChooserWix\Product.wxs 4 1
IssueChooserWix
If I change the product version from using the WixVariable to the defined
VERSION e.g.
<Product Id="*"
Name="!(wix.ProductName) !(wix.TheVersion)"
Language="1033"
Version="$(var.VERSION))"
Manufacturer="My Company"
UpgradeCode="!(wix.UpgradeID)">
Then this works as expected. But using the WixVariable works in the Product
Name string, but not as the product value. Even if I declare the variable as
<WixVariable Id="TheVersion" Value="$(var.VERSION)" />
It still fails as the product version. Is this a bug in the compiler?
I'd like to define this variable in a common library shared by all my setup
projects in a single solution but this is preventing that.
Cheers
Russell
