In WiX 3.0, !(loc.Variable) is the proper syntax for a localization variable (the dollar sign is deprecated).
The [ProductName] syntax is not substituted until the MSI package is installed. This is perfectly find, just note that Windows Installer handles the substitution, not WiX (this is a common misconception). The error listed below is a CNDL001 - which indicates an uncaught exception. But the syntax of the error doesn't seem to match. Please post a more complete snippet of the problematic xml and also the full output from candle.
