Can enviroment variables be used in paths to product files in a VS setup proj

I have several Visual Studio setup projects that reference product
output folders which of course include the sub dirs "debug" and
"release".

The VS installed doesn't provide any mechanism to reference files via
environment vars. Is there a way to specify an environment variable
in the setup .vdproj file such that VS will find the files?

I really don't want to have to clone and maintain two setups just to
differentiate between a debug and release product files.

Thanks in advance!
