Project EXE File Not Found

I'm still having trouble, now with 5.4, in getting InnoScript to find the executable file for my project.  From prior posts, I thought InnoScript would use the information in the VBP file.  Here's what those entries say in my project:

ExeName32=Operations.exe
Path32=..\BIN

Despite having this information, InnoScript searches all over creation looking for the EXE.  In this case, it eventually finds nothing and marks the file in red.
 
I may do things a bit differently than most VB programmers.  The folder structure for my projects mimics the structure that will be found when I eventually install the application, which facilitates testing.  Here's what my typical structure looks like, a bit simplified:

project ---------- root project folder
--  bin ----------- executables
--  data ---------- database
--  source -------- current source code (VBP here)
--  installs ------ installation packages
--  reports ------- report definition files

etc.
 
When I compile, the executable is generated in project\bin, not in project\source.  That's why I think it's necessary for InnoScript to use the VBP's directions to the .exe rather than making any other assumption.
 
Is there something I forgot about or am missing about this?
 
Thanks.
