[WiX-users] Burn VS2010 variables

[Dieter L. <cod...@gm...>]

Does burn support variables in a bundle like the setup does? I have
added my custom bootstrapper and MSI as references and used the
variables, it compiles; however when running the installer it just
shows the splash screen before dying. Below are the bundle and burn
log.
