So obviously there is a common file location which lends itself to the use of an entity (I think an entity is what I am after).

However when I defined an entity location as

<!ENTITY location "C:Program Files (x86)AVEVAPlantE3D1.1.0">

and used it in the string element declarations

e.g. <string>&location;MessageAddin</string>

I received a fatal error from the application.
