Hey Dan, Thanks for that, I just read the section on that just after posting to the list. It works fine if I put it in the generated .wxs file but not if I put it in the non-generated Product.wxs file so anytime someone reruns the batch file this key bit of info will get obliterated ...
How can I get around this in a repeatable fashion so that the generated fragment is always valid?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Cab File Hi James, Preprocessor variables and WixVariable's are not the same thing. A preprocessor variable is defined using <?define name="value"?>. For example: <?define RFileSource="..\..\lib\R\R-2.14.1"?> Preprocessor variables are handled much like the C preprocessor handles #define macros.
