Notes:
- To specify operating-system environment variables in an edit box, use the following syntax:
$(VariableName).- The $(Config) variable resolves to the specific configuration that is set in the Target field on the specific Project Options page where $(Config) is specified, for example Delphi Compiler. If you specify $(Config) in a path and then build your project with a Debug configuration as the Target, $(Config) includes only the Debug directory, and the build can miss any elements that exist solely in the Release directory.
