Build.ini constants

[cravr]

I have a build.ini file with the following constants
------------------------------------------
[constants]
#OUTPUTDIR#=D:\DEVELOP\RELEASE
#SETUPNAME#=In_install_v4.1.2.exe
------------------------------------------

According to the log, the constants are being picked up ok.
------------------------------------------
> Constant set: #OUTPUTDIR# = D:\DEVELOP\RELEASE
> Constant set: #SETUPNAME# = In_install_v4.1.2.exe
> Constant set: _VER_MAIN = 4.1.2
------------------------------------------

I'm guessing I'm going about this the wrong way. The output is not directed to this folder, nor is the output file name set from the constants.

Any help appreciated

Are you actually using #OUTPUTDIR# and #SETUPNAME# in the Publish settings, for the active build configuration? Also, were these constants previously defined on the Constants tab?

/CONST:<<ini file path>>
Lets you specify an INI file that contains design-time constants to override the ones in the project. You can define as many design-time constants as you want in the INI file, with each constant on a separate line beneath the [Constants] section. Each constant that is defined in the INI file must already be defined in the project file.

thanks Ulrich.
I thought these two constants were predefined. All working now ... thanks !
