If you're using Votive, go to the property pages, and add
SOURCEPATH=\\droplocation\sourcecode
to your define variables.
I had a lot of problems getting the values to stick for my project
configurations, so ended up doing it manually in the wixproj file, as described
below in my original reply. There seems to be some confusion between the
project the property page is modifying, and the one that visual studio is
claiming is current in its toolbar.
Has anyone else noticed that Votive doesn't like to save changed pages, and
figured out what provokes the problem.

So if I had a dropLocation that is used as a variable in my wxs file as
<?define SOURCEPATH =\\dropLocation\sourcecode?>
which is used in the wxs project as
<File Id="FileWebConfig" Name="WEB~1.CON" LongName="Web.config"
src="$(var.SOURCEPATH)\Web.config" />
How would I make this part of my MSBuild?
I want to use the MSBuild's droplocation as input to the wixproj which here
is the value for the SOURCEPATH. Can you elaborate help out here?
Thanks,
SJ

I'm had problems with this too.
I've had the following line in my .wixproj file:
<WixVariables>Config=" demo.wxi"</WixVariables>
Then in my .wxs file, I'd like to include the file specified as config.
I tried this in my .wxs file,
<?include $(var.Config) ?>
but I get this error:
Error CNDL0150: Undefined preprocessor variable '$( var.Config)'.
Then I looked around, and discovered, that this passes a LINKER variable.
To pass a compiler variable I need to do this instead:
<DefineConstants>Config=demo.wxi</DefineConstants>
Now it works as expected.
