[wix-users] Accessing VS command prompt only variable

[Ken Wood]

Hi,

I can access the normal environment variables within wix but the Visual studio command prompt only variables don't seem available. In particular, I want to use VCToolsRedistDir as we have many versions of VS2017 installed on developers/build machines with different update versions and I don't want to hard code the update version number or the install type (some are professional and some enterprise).

Any help will be very helpful

Thanks in advance

Ken
