Simply use [%Environment_Variable] as a Property. See -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368609.aspx

I'm trying to get the USERPROFILE with: <Property Id="UserFolder" Value="$(env.USERPROFILE)\MyApp\MyFolder"/> But this only picks up the USERPROFILE of the build machine, where the installer is built. I want it to use the USERPROFILE of the machine where the app is being installed. Would I need to write an extension to do this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
