The string represented by $(var.ProductName),  typically defined in a wxi
file, is substituted by the perprocessor at compile time, so that the
complier produces object code from the equivalent of:
<Product Id="*" Name="YourPreProcessorString"...

Later when a user launches your setup  Burn creates and initializes a
'built-in' Burn Engine String variable 'ProductName' to the value of
Product/@Name.  You can use it in your Bundle anywhere a string is allowed,
such as in localized strings or conditional statements when comparing to
another string.
