Yes it does Rob, thank you.

I looked at the documentation for the Preprocessor and do not see any examples 
of that syntax o_O

Thanks bob, i missed that  syntax in the help file omits the $(var. )

So now I have broken this down to the simplest example i can think of and still 
seem to be having troubles.

I created a new solution, added one class library and one wix installer 
project. I added a reference to ClassLibrary1 in the wix project.

I added:

when i try to compile i get this error:

Error    1    preprocessor definition value: 
C:\code\Test\ClassLibrary1\bin\Debug\

what this tells me is that the check to see if the preprocessor definition 
exists says that it doesn't, but the value is expanded correctly in the error 
statement so it must.

what am i doing wrong ?

$(var.id) is a variable resolution, to expand the id into its variable
value.  and  are looking for the id itself, so just drop the
$(var.) portion.
