BuildDebug

Indicates whether the project will be built in debug mode.

BuildLayout

Indicates the media type to be used in builds by default. The following values are possible:

• 0: Uncompressed Directory Layout
• 1: Compressed Self Extracting EXE
• 2: Compressed Web Based EXE

CompressProfile

Indicates the strength of compression. Acceptable values are below:

• 0: No compression, just store
• 1: Minimum compression
• 2: Medium compression
• 3: Good compression
• 4: Best compression

Note that this value is passed as a string.

BuildInFolder

If this value is false, builds will take place in the folder pointed at by the BuildCustomFolder parameter.

If this value is true, builds will take place in the default location, which is the project folder.

BuildCustomFolder

Specifies the custom build folder to use. Ignored unless the BuildInFolder parameter is false.

OutputFile

Allows to override the default name of the setup.exe install launcher file. By default, the name of the launcher file is identical to the project file name. Specify an alternate file name in this field to use a different file name.

AutoIncrement

Indicates whether the project revision code should be automatically updated each time a new build is made.

Please note that building a project from the command line or the automation interface will not increment the revision code.

Conditionals

Provides a list of compiler variables for conditional compilation in the form "VAR1=VALUE1","VAR2=VALUE2".
