Record Fields

Record FieldDescription
Id
Signature: string

The name of the variable.
Overridable
Signature: YesOrNo

Set this value to 'yes' in order to make the variable's value overridable either by another WixVariable entry or via the command-line option -d= for light.exe. If the same variable is declared overridable in multiple places it will cause an error (since WiX won't know which value is correct). The default value is 'no'.
Value
Signature: string

The value of the variable. The value cannot be an empty string because that would make it possible to accidentally set a column to null.
