The File Path Substitutions tab allows you to specify how file paths can be modified to account for copying a build from a build machine to a development machine or test machine.
File paths need to be modified otherwise the debug information will point to source code in locations that don't exist on the new machine.
There are no substitutions set up by default:
File Path Substitutions
Or you may just be copying a build from a drive on a development machine to a subdirectory on a drive on your test machine.
•Add adds a row to the File Paths Substitutions table
enter the new path that will replace the old path in the New Path column
click in the Old Path column
enter the path that is being replaced
For example, you might enter c:\users\stephen\documents for the new path and f:\dev\build for the old path.
You can double click to edit drives and paths in the table, or remove items:
•Remove removes selected substitutions from the list
Alternatively, press to delete selected items, and

to select all items in the list first.
