Hi,

I found a workaround for issue 4087 "Bug in the Visual Studio
Environment Macro Integration" (http://wixtoolset.org/issues/4087/) that
I would like to add as a comment on the issue page. However, I always
get an error message ("Error! Something went awry while submitting your
changes. Please, try again. ") when trying to post a comment. The issue
is open and I am logged in, so I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
Sorry, if this mailing list is the wrong place to report these kind of
problems.

Anyway, here's the original comment I wanted to post about the original
issue, maybe this is helpful for someone:

"I have the same problem here, $(ProjectName) and $(PlatformName) are
resolved to empty string when used inside the output path. However, I
found a nice workaround: Just use $(MSBuildProjectName) and $(Platform)
instead. I found these macros being used inside the WiX MSBuild targets
file, so I am not sure if these should be used outside of it.

If you still need a MSBuild log, let me know."

Kind regards,
Konrad
