I've asked this before but haven't gotten a solid answer, so I'll try one more time.
I need to be able to incorporate a modified form of the package version into the .msi name. What would be ideal would be the ability to reference the "!(bind.fileVersion.MyPackageEXE)" as part of the output name, something like: DeluxeInstaller_!(bind.fileVersion.MyPackageEXE).msi I've had no luck shooting in the dark with different forms of the variable. Setting the "OutputName" field to include either a $() variable or a !() bind variable doesn't work, and the bind variable seems to no longer be in scope at the post-build-event stage (where I could simply write a line of DOS that renames the file. Is the only option to me at this point truly to write a separate stand-alone application that will have to go get the version information from the binaries itself and do a rename? That seems incredibly lame, since all the information I need is available during the wix processing, but I just don't seem to be able to get at it. I REALLY don't want to have to make an ugly hack just to add the version number into the filename. Please don't tell me that that is the only way. -- Regards, cf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
