varying executable name based on conditional compilation

Is there any way to specify a different executable name for my project
based on value that I have set in my conditional compilation constant.
For eg:
If I have FIRST specified in my conditional compilation constant then I
would like the executable to be XYZ.exe and if nothing is specified
then the executable should be ABC.exe.

Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Maybe you could use post build events in order to rename project output if
condition is met. Check:
