So I have a include file called Variables.wxi which has the define product version I have a MergeModule which as the fileID. The include file is included in both product.wxs and mergemodule.wxs
If I use either the GUID from the component within the merge module or use the package ID from the merge module it fails: <?define ProductVersion = !(bind.fileVersion.file_TMCResources.D0328AB9_4135_4C11_9FF7_3887FB6573A6)?> I get: Error 4 Unresolved bind-time variable !(bind.fileVersion.file_TMCResources.D0328AB9_4135_4C11_9FF7_3887FB6573A6). C:\Dev\Core Technologies\Main\Setup\TMC_Client_Setup\Product.wxs 5 1 TMC_Client_Setup Or use this: <?define ProductVersion = !(wix.FileVersion.file_TMCResources.D0328AB9_4135_4C11_9FF7_3887FB6573A6)?> I get this: Error 4 The Windows Installer XML variable !(wix.FileVersion.file_TMCResources.D0328AB9_4135_4C11_9FF7_3887FB6573A6) is unknown. Please ensure the variable is declared on the command line for light.exe, via a WixVariable element, or inline using the syntax !(wix.FileVersion.file_TMCResources.D0328AB9_4135_4C11_9FF7_3887FB6573A6=some value which doesn't contain parenthesis).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Setting the version number... Merge Modules "modularize" the identifiers (append the .G_U_I_D). So you must do that too.
