The output path is an MSBuild concept. The pre-processor and "other" variables are Wix concepts. You need to define your output path in terms of MSBuild properties.

I'm doing this so that when I change my product version from 1.2.0.0 to 1.3.0.0 it will create a folder under obj\release\1.3.0.0\ for the installation files. This way, I can compile and keep different versions of the software for testing. I want it to go to \obj\$(Configuration)\$(ProductVersion), but it never sees my product version. It creates a folder with the name of "0.0.0.0". In the 'Define preprocessor variables:' section in the project properties I have ProductVersion=$(Version) In the 'Define variables:' section in the project properties I have ProductVersion=1.2.0.0 Any ideas? Thanks.
