> > how to automate version number The best way IMO is to put the version information into a seperate small file. Something like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Include> <?define ApplicationVersion = "3" ?> <?define MajorVersion = "1" ?> <?define MinorVersion = "0" ?> <?define BuildNumber = "0" ?> <?define SpecialVersion = "" ?> </Include>
Then you can include it in other wix files: <?include Version.wxi ?> and you use the variables where apropriate: <Product Id="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" Name="FooBar" Language="1033" Version=""$(var.ApplicationVersion).$(var.MajorVersion).$(var.MinorVersion).$(var.BuildNumber)" Manufacturer="Acme" UpgradeCode="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"> I use a perl script to write the Version.wxi file, but other methods might work as well. - Kim -- *Kim Gybels Software Developer * kim.gyb...@metris.com <mailto:kim.gyb...@metris.com> Tel: +32 16 74 01 01 Fax: +32 16 74 01 02 * Metris Europe * Interleuvenlaan 86 3001 Leuven Belgium www.metris.com <http://www.metris.com/> This message and any attachment are privileged, confidential and contain private information.
