Re: [WiX-users] Setting the version number...

[StevenOgilvie]

Hi Rob,

I have a wxi variable file with:
  <?define ProductVersion = !(wix.FileVersion.file_TMCResources)?>

then my product.wxs file with:
<Product Id=&quot;$(var.ProductCode)&quot;
           Name=&quot;$(var.ProductName)&quot;
           Language=&quot;1033&quot;
           Version=&quot;$(var.ProductVersion)&quot;

I compile using VS2010 and get these errors:
Error   4       The Windows Installer XML variable
!(wix.FileVersion.file_TMCResources) is unknown.  Please ensure the variable
is declared on the command line for light.exe, via a WixVariable element, or
inline using the syntax !(wix.FileVersion.file_TMCResources=some value which
doesn't contain parenthesis).   C:\Dev\Core
Technologies\Main\Setup\TMC_Client_Setup\Product.wxs    5       1       
TMC_Client_Setup

I have a merge module (which includes the variables.wxi) which contains that
file id:
&lt;Component Id=&quot;cmp9A893CD17F2583C3B6A49923CB3B231C&quot;
Guid=&quot;{SOME_GUID}&quot; Permanent=&quot;no&quot; Shared=&quot;no&quot;>
          <File Id="file_TMCResources" KeyPath="yes"
Source="$(var.tmcSourcePath)\TMC_Resources.dll" />
          </Component>

Must be an easy way to read a fileversion and use that as your
productversion?

Steve
