C:\GitLab-Runner\builds\FJU7Huua\0\devops\win32-openssh\contrib\win32\install\openssh.wixproj(4) : error CNDL0149 : Ill-formed preprocessor variable '$(Configuration)'.  Variables must have a prefix (like 'var.', 'env.', or 'sys.') and a name at least 1 character long. If the literal string '$(Configuration)' is desired, use '$$(Configuration)'.```
