How do you want to generate your name? This will determine how we change
OutputName.
OutputName is just a MSBuild property but one that is used by all project
types. I believe (but have not verified) that if you build your solution from
the command line providing a different value for OutputName you'll end up with
all of your projects in that solution with the same name.
msbuild sample.sln /p:OutputName=GeneratedName /t:build
You'll probably want to define a new custom property in your .wixproj so that
you can change only the OutputName in the .wixproj.
<Project ...>
<PropertyGroup>
...
<SetupName>DefaultValue</SetupName>
<OutputName>$(SetupName)</OutputName>
...
</PropertyGroup>
...
</Project>
In the sample above I define a new property, SetupName, before OutputName. I
use the value of SetupName as the value for OutputName. Note that you'll need
to hand edit the .wixproj.
Now we should be able to set SetupName on the command line to whatever
generated name we want and not affect OutputName for any other projects.
msbuild sample.sln /p:SetupName=GeneratedName /t:build
This all assumes that the name is generated before the solution begins building.
