Since you are using a batch script, why not simply put your <?define ...> in a
separate file and then append the generated .wxs file to it to produce a final
.wxs file that is included in the installer. You can use the copy command to
append files by separating the source files with a '+' sign. For example:
copy define_file.wxs + generated_file.wxs final_file.wxs

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?
Cheers,
James

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.
