I'm going to be careful here, so as to not confuse a few concepts. Properties are entries in the Properties table, defined through the Properties element. These are runtime values only. What you're after is the preprocessor. You want to define something like this: Source='D:\Projects\solution\bin\$(var.Build)\Configuration.dll' and have command lines like these: candle myfile.wxs -dBuild=Debug candle myfile.wxs -dBuild=Release
