I have seen the response to this issue previously in this list, but basically IIRC the version needs to be available at compile time. The binder writes a bind variable after the linker completes, so that information is not available when it is needed.
Get the Wix source download and look at WixBuilds.version.targets in the tools folder (IIRC) for an example of writing the version string to a wxi file. Then use that variable rather than a bind variable in your bundle and/or msi projects. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Automatically-increment-and-synchronize-version-of-product-and-bootstrapper-tp7589213p7589216.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
