Where will you be getting your version information from? You could use a MSBuild task to read it from an ini and set both a MSBuild property and a Wix Define. If you want the version information to be set via your primary exe you could look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/626033/how-can-i-set-the-wix-installer-version-to-the-curent-build-version, though that won't allow you to push anything back to MSBuild where the output file name is.

Would I need to do some kind of custom action for the part referenced above? Are you talking about a manual step where you pass the above as a command line parm? We are new to Wix and just have a standard Product.wxs that generates the msi for us. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-can-I-set-change-the-generated-msi-name-from-within-product-wxs-tp7583427p7583429.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
