CREATE TABLE $(tablename) (Value1 CHAR(50), Value2 INTEGER)

Include.wxi

<?define tablename = "Test" ?>

Try using $(var.tablename).

For reference, see http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/preprocessor.htm

  • @nag_ mittapalli, has this helped you? i have a similar problem, but i want to use properties. – osiris Oct 28 '14 at 15:37
  • @osiris, this syntax is for pre-processor variables (evaluated at build time). If you want to use properties (evaluated during install), then you need to use the [property] syntax. – Dave Andersen Oct 29 '14 at 17:20
