Hi I just tried this simple project. Basically I just manually edited the wixproj and simply added OutputName override in the debug configuration.
Now when I open this project and build the debug configuration the output is simplemsidebug.msi and in release the output is simplemsi.msi -Raj <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";> <PropertyGroup> <Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration> <Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' ">x86</Platform> <ProductVersion>3.7</ProductVersion> <ProjectGuid>{ed2999fa-e2e9-4ca9-81ae-cd6e3a9d98d1}</ProjectGuid> <SchemaVersion>2.0</SchemaVersion> <OutputName>SimpleMsi</OutputName> <OutputType>Package</OutputType> <WixTargetsPath Condition=" '$(WixTargetsPath)' == '' AND '$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)' != '' ">$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets</WixTargetsPath> <WixTargetsPath Condition=" '$(WixTargetsPath)' == '' ">$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets</WixTargetsPath> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x86' "> <OutputPath>bin\$(Configuration)\</OutputPath> <IntermediateOutputPath>obj\$(Configuration)\</IntermediateOutputPath> <DefineConstants>Debug</DefineConstants> <OutputName>SimpleMsiDebug</OutputName> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|x86' "> <OutputPath>bin\$(Configuration)\</OutputPath> <IntermediateOutputPath>obj\$(Configuration)\</IntermediateOutputPath> </PropertyGroup> <ItemGroup> <Compile Include="Product.wxs" /> </ItemGroup> <Import Project="$(WixTargetsPath)" /> <!-- To modify your build process, add your task inside one of the targets below and uncomment it.
