It appears that the Visual Studio action does not expand variable that's entered in as the configuration to be built. Using any variable there results in error from the compiler stating that invalid solution configuration was specified. Also the parameter list shows the variable, and not the variable value as the parameter.

Ouch, we’ll get that fixed and a new build out tomorrow.
