If you add a reference to your WixExample01 project then you can use $(var.WixExample01.TargetFileName),etc throughout your WiX project

Hi I'm new to WIX so bear with me with this simple question. J Using VS2010 Votive, .NET 4, Wix 3.5 I'm in VS 2010 and I created a simple WPF project. Then I created a Wix project (in the same solution), and added a reference to my WPF project in my Wix project. All is good. But the pre-processor statements don't seem to resolve. For example the following line fails: <File Id="WixExample01.exe" Name="$(var.MySetup.TargetFileName)" Source="$(var.MySetup.TargetPath)" DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes" /> .however if I hard-code the path, it will build and work: <File Id="WixExample01.exe" Name="WixExample01.exe" Source="..\..\..\WixExample01\bin\debug\WixExample01.exe" DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes" /> How can I get the relative folders and filenames working? I read the documentation, but cannot seem to see what I'm doing wrong?
