I figured out how to use a named bindpath by modifing a xslt which someone else had posted here <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19515397/deploy-multiple-wcf-webservices-with-wix-toolset-wrong-svc-files> . I am still interested in any clarification on how to use HarvestDirectoryAdditionalOptions property or %HarvestDirectory.AdditionalOptions without needing the transform.
On a related issue, since I modified the xslt to replace '!(wix.' with '!(bindpath.', allowing me to get away from the assumption that the variable name is a project name, and since I want to always apply this transform to multiple HarvestDirectory items, I tried to set the property $(HarvestDirectoryTransforms) rather than having multiple transforms in %HarvestDirectory.Transforms. Using the property never works. Using %HarvestDirectory.Transforms with multiple transforms separated by a semicolon does the job. So it is curious that $(HarvestDirectoryTransforms) does not work as indicated in the chm: Optional string property. XSL transforms to apply to all generated WiX authoring. Separate multiple transforms with semicolons. The default is $(HarvestTransforms) if specified. This global property is only usable with MSBuild 4.0 or Visual Studio 2010, and newer. Any advice on using HarvestDirectory is appreciated.
