We use it with <?include Runtime.wxi?> (we call it runtime.wxi :)) and put that inside a <Product ...>.
Follow the CA declarations to see when these properties are being set. It's basically after FindRelatedProducts, AppSearch, etc. where all this stuff becomes available. We typically use them much later in the sequences (eg. for file manipulation schedule your CA after RemoveFiles). Look at the log to confirm that your properties are set correctly before you use them. dB. @ dblock.org Moscow|Geneva|Seattle|New York -----Original Message----- From: glenneroo [mailto:gl...@glenneroo.org] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 7:09 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Cc: dB. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CA only on initial install btw i could only get this to work by changing the <Include> block to <Wix> and putting everything inside a <Fragment> block. The resulting file i named defines.wxs and compiled and linked. Is this how you use it? Also: Do you know how early/late in the installation process these properties can be used, assuming above usage is correct? thanks! g.
