The bigger question is why are you trying to do an Official build? An Official build needs to support all the platforms, so it makes sense to have this check. If you are developing, just do a debug/release build. The official build is available via the wixtoolset.org. If you just need release mode symbols, http://wixtoolset.org/releases/ will have the build and will have zip's of the symbols.
