Browsing the docs I found the Binder variables and one for
bind.assemblyVersion.FileID, it looks like I can't use it in the same way as
normal properties though as it gets evaluated after the WiX XML has been
parsed. Has anyone had any experience of using this?
I am trying to set a ProductVersion variable in my WiX file so I can show a
version in the installer and tie the installer up to a specific build.
Is there a preferred method for tying the source/assemblies/installer into
the same version?
Si suggested the following on a post earlier this year, it looks good but is
there a 'supported' way?
<Import
Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Ta
sks.Targets"

<Target Name="BeforeBuild">

</ReadLinesFromFile>
<RegexMatch Input="@(ProductAssemblyInfo)"
