To get wix to use the var it has to run in the context where the
$(ConfigurationName) is set (candle compile).
You then compile wixobj with: candle.exe -dMyVar =
$(ConfigurationName)...
Then you should be able to access the $(var.MyVar) in the wix code.
Usually this is set up in a msbuld script and passed when compiling the
wxs files to wixobj.

Alright, just found out, where this variable was set. It is set on the
commandline while calling the batch-file to start the compilation of the
setup.
The batch-file is called as "Pre-build event command line" in VS2005.
The variable "var.Build" is set to the value of "$(ConfigurationName)".
The last is homemade of VisualStudio. How can I access this
"ConfigurationName" under WiX-V3?
Sorry for the trouble...
Oliver

No, we did not use Votive V2, just plain wxs-files that
we added to a simple solution, we did not use Votive V2.
Sorry, I'm not understanding. Are you asking how to set the
Build variable using Votive?
