Although the feature to use $(var.Project.TargetPath) isn't done yet, you can still do what you want by using MSBuild variables. In your .wixproj file, add the following to a <PropertyGroup> element:
<PropertyGroup> <DefineConstants>Configuration=$(Configuration)</DefineConstants> </PropertyGroup> This will automatically add the -dConfiguration=Debug to the candle command line.

Is there an environment variable to specify the current project settings eg instead of hard coding the project path or build i would like use the Visual studio environment variables <File Id="MyService.exe" Name="MyService.exe" DiskId='1' Vital='yes' Source='..\MyProject\bin\Debug\MyService.exe'/> For example VS has the macro ConfigurationName mapped to "debug" or "release", but i cannot access this via the Wix $(env) var <File Id="MyService.exe" Name="MyService.exe" DiskId='1' Vital='yes' Source='..\MyProject\bin\$(env.ConfigurationName)\MyService.exe'/> Is there away to get these VS environment (macros as VS calls them) into Votive for Wix to expand?
