Is it possible to pass variable to WIX localization file?

Question

I need to use variable in WIX localization file WIXUI_en-us.wxl. I tried use it like this:

Answer 1

Your second method should work just fine. This is the same method used by the default .wxl files.

For example, in your .wxl file you would declare your string:

Foo blah blah [Property1]

And in your .wxs file, you declare the property. If you wish, you can declare the property to match a WiX variable (which it sounds like you're trying to do)

$(var.Property1)
