[izpack-users] IzPack XML variable substitution...

[Ajay Kumar Gour]

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the response. I have tried the option but still the value is  
not reflected in configuration file.

Am i missing anything else in install.xml or userInputSpec.xml? I have  
googled to get information but haven't got anything.

Regards,
-Ajay
