It looks like you're confusing run-time and compile-time conditions. Properties used like [this] and the Condition element are used when the package is being installed. If you want to make changes to how the package is built in the first place you need to use the preprocessor.
Assuming that you want to build a debug and release version, you want to put something like this around your Debug only Component and Feature elements: <?if $(var.Configuration) = Debug ?> ... WiX ... <? endif ?> You also want to change bin\[Configuration]\file.xxx to bin\$(var.Configuration)\file.xxx and then specify -dConfiguration=Debug on the command line to candle. I hope that helps, Rob Kevin Burton wrote: > It seems that the Configuration property is not getting set.
