Usage of Variables in Comments
Can we use variables inside comments??
I tried this and in my output file, the variables were printed instead of its values.
Lets say
$new_variable$ contains "this is a sample statement" as value. When I print
Comments: $new_variable$
to a output file, it printed
Comments: $new_variable$
instead of
Comments: this is a sample statement
Any thoughts on this?? Thanks in advance.

I think we cannot use this under directly comments.
However, we can use Modify Text File - Single File action where you can add new comments onto the existing text file. Make sure that you select 'Substitute InstallAnywhere variables in file' option.
Select to replace any InstallAnywhere variables with their values. When this option is selected, the installer changes any strings in the text file that match InstallAnywhere variables to the values of those variables.
Hope this Helps
