Summary: preprocessor macros and values with spaces
Initial Comment:
- my project resides in C:\Visual Studio Projects\Fred.
- I have an environment variable called WORKDIR that
specifies the project root directory.
- Under the root directory is the 'bin' directory for
all the binary output from the projects
- In a WiX file, I specify a subdirectory like so:
<?define binDir=$(env.WORKDIR)\bin?>
'binDir' expands to 'C:\VisualStudio Projects\Fred\bin'
in the File/@src attributes in the wxs file.

WiX 3.0 will now properly handle define statements that look
like the following:
<?define variableName = "variable value"?>
The major difference is that the equal sign (=) is now
required (whereas previously it was not).
Just as before:
The quotes are optional.
You can also use single quotes (') instead of double-quotes
(") - this might be new.
The spaces around the variable value will be trimmed unless
they are protected inside a quoted value (note that this is
different from the bug where spaces were erroneously removed
from inside the variable value).

This should be fixed for 3.0 and the docs should be updated
for 2.0 to indicate that quotes are needed for values
containing spaces.

That works. I thought I tried that before. I guess not.
At any rate, the documentation indicates that quotes around
the value are not required. Perhaps this should be a
documentation bug.

How about this:
<?define binDir="$(env.WORKDIR)\bin"?>
