Variable not working.

[Quigs]

Hi there,
When I add a variable to a file location my build fales:

Works:
C:\Users\QUIGS\_DPS Repository\trunk\00. IMPORTS\_Licence docuements\

Fails:
$(var.PersonalFolder)_DPS Repository\trunk\00. IMPORTS\_Licence docuements\
But it shows up as working, ie the text is not red.

ERROR:
SignDesignPro_Uk_9_1_TEST.wxs
C:\Users\QUIGS\_DPS Repository\trunk\_Sign Design Pro\01. SignDesignPro_UK\06. Installler\01. Installer Project\SignDesignPro_Uk_9_1_TEST.wxs(337) : error CNDL0150 : Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.PersonalFolder)'.
Error 4001: candle.exe returned 150

Build FAILED! Error: 4001 - Compile failed (candle.exe returned an error code). Usually means project contains errors or is missing information.


Can anyone help?

"PersonalFolder" is not a valid built-in global build variable:


You cannot use it unless you define it first:


Once the project is saved, the new variable becomes available in the IDE and works:
