I use the WIX environment variable which you can access just like a property. (i.e., $(WIX)). In this manner, the path to candle would be $(WIX)bin\candle.exe.

(I am using .wxl files to generate en-us and de-de versions of the installer.) How do I get to the path that Visual Studio is using for candle and light, so that I don't have to hard code the path to the WiX installation into the project? Currently, I added the WiX bin folder to the system path which works, but requires that to be done on every PC that needs to compile the project. Is there a variable or a way to access the WiX path from within Visual Studio?
