Thanks Peter, good to know. I however re-use the $(var.VERSION) variable in quite a few other places like directories, shortcuts, websites, etc. and find that have four are excessive, so I'm trying to see if there is a simple way to reduce it to 3 or even 2 for those usages.
Any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: Thursday, 25 October 2012 1:47 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Product Version via (bind.FileVersion.$(var.MAINEXE)) You can use a 4 field version for a product. Windows stores but ignores the final field. -----Original Message----- From: Johann A.
