For preprocessor variable $(var.VariableName) to be seen by every file in the project you have to include them in the WiX project properties->Build->“Define preprocessor variables” textbox. You’d have to include it manually into those two wxs files too. If you’ve ever worked with C++ you can think of the include files as.h files.įor example if you include SuperFormVariables.wxi into the SuperForm.wxs, the variables in the wxi won’t be seen in FilesFragment.wxs or RegistryFragment.wxs. To include a wxi file into the wxs file you have to put the wxi at the beginning of each.wxs file you wish to include it in. WXI include file Include files are exactly what their name implies. The more detailed descriptions will be in future posts about features themselves.

For wxs file we’ll just go over the general description of what each part does in the code comments. We’re still playing with our super SuperForm application and today we’ll take a look at the general parts of the main wxs file, SuperForm.wxs, and the wxi include file. In we’ve taken a look at the WiX solution/project structure and project properties.
