Yes it does Rob, thank you. I looked at the documentation for the Preprocessor and do not see any examples of that syntax o_O

I created a new solution, added one class library and one wix installer project. I added a reference to ClassLibrary1 in the wix project. I added: when i try to compile i get this error: Error 1 preprocessor definition value: C:\code\Test\ClassLibrary1\bin\Debug\ what this tells me is that the check to see if the preprocessor definition exists says that it doesn't, but the value is expanded correctly in the error statement so it must. what am i doing wrong ?
