I just gave this a try with a clean Votive project by manually editing the
.wixproj file to add $(Project) to the output name and it worked fine. Here's
what my MSBuild property looks like:
<OutputName>WixMergeModule1 $(Platform)</OutputName>
This is with WiX 3.0.4022.0.
Can you send out what your Property blob at the top of the project file looks
like?

Subject: [WiX-users] Question about $(Platform) in Votive Output name
In a project I created in VS2005 I used "Installer $(Platform)" as my output
name... It worked fine by created "Installer x64.msi"
Now, I've converted to VS2008, and it still works fine.
However, I created a new project, and set up a merge module WiX project,
with "Module $(Platform)" as the output name, and it creates "Module
$(Platform).msm" as the output.
In the .wixproj XML, I noticed it had escaped the $() characters, so I
replaced those manually and reopened it, but to no avail. It's still
creating the name without replacement.
Is this a change in platform functionality? Was I relying on a bug that was
fixed? Is this a bug that was introduced? Am I a great big fat idiot? Any
and all advice would be appreciated. :-)
Thanks!
Chris
