Please support the path alias NI_AB_PROJECTNAME for building an installer as it is done for building an executable.
When generating a new executable, the default path is ../builds/NI_AB_PROJECTNAME/Application where NI_AB_PROJECT_NAME is an alias for the name of the project. (This is only visible when viewing the text of the project file.) When creating a new installer the default path is the same one, but the project name is hard coded. And NI_AB_PROJECTNAME is not supported when I edit the file by hand.
Most time this is only an inconsistency and not really a problem. But when the project is renamed the application is deployed in a new directory, but the installer is not.
Please do also support the alias NI_AB_PROJECTNAME in any build target not supporting it. Overview of the targets I can build (+ supporting, - not supporting):
+ Application
+ DLL
- Installer
+ Interop Assembly
+ Packed Library
+ Source Distribution
+ Web Service
- Zip File
The project file I read out if NI_AB_PROJECTNAME is supported is appended.
