[wix-users] Property values in MBA UI

[Phill Hogland]

WixBundleName is a Burn Variable, and not a MSI property.  

It depends on the language the mba is implemented in, but the basic steps are:
Use the Wix Engine object to read the EngineString "WixBundleName" into a local variable defined in your code.
Define a string resource which takes a string insert like "Installing {0}" (in C#)
Then use the String.Format method to insert the string the wix Engine object returned into your resource string.

Within my MBA, I can display strings loaded from resources by doing something like

  <Label Content="{x:Static MyNamespace.Properties.Resources.StrName}" .../>

What I'd like to do is put property names in the string resource (eg, "Installing [WixBundleName] ") and have them replaced with the appropriate value.

How do I do that?

Thanks
Kevin Parkes
