Yes, the correct way to implement a function is in a preprocessor extension. This would be part of the same dll that a compiler extension is implemented in. Just identify which namespaces you want the preprocessor to pass to you extension to resolve and then write your function to get the guids however you need to get them out of your system. Would a blog entry on how to implement a preprocessor extension be helpful?Anonymous

I think this would be very usefull. It may save a lot of time if it is described. (I think documentation will always be hard for a project like WiX, since you can write entire books about it ;) )Anonymous

The authors of WiX have made it easy for you to do some of your own preprocessing on your WiX files beforeAnonymous

In my last blog post , I showed how easy it is to extend WiX, and make a simple preprocessor extension.
