Re: [WiX-users] Subversion revision number through a wixproject file using msbuild community tasks
Yes, Edwin you are the man. This works perferct, now. Thanks for your help
I need to read up on msbuild. I just started working with it when I began
with automating our installer with wix. Good stuff when you know what you
are doing.

Re: [WiX-users] Subversion revision number through a wixproject file using msbuild community tasks
Here's a snippet of what you want to do:
Version;
$(CoreBuildDependsOn)
SubversionRevision=$(Revision)
$(DefineConstants);SubversionRevision=$(Revision)
You don't need both the MSBuild 2.0 and 3.5 syntaxes. I use Visual Studio 2008
so I use MSBuild 3.5 syntax. Technically, the portions are not necessary because you always define
DefineConstants at the project scope. Here's how I would rewrite your entire

Re: [WiX-users] Subversion revision number through a wixproject file using msbuild community tasks
Thanks again for your response EdwinYep, I use the same CollabNet release
for testing. Yep, I expected that also, but I dont see it, which leads me
to believe that there is some kind of pathing/mapping problem. Also, I am
not quite sure on the syntax for DefineConstants inside the version target.
Here is my project file. Hope you can see what the problem is..Thanks for
your help.

Re: [WiX-users] Subversion revision number through a wixproject file using msbuild community tasks
My example depended on having the CollabNet distribution of subversion. Find out where svnversion.exe lives on your system. I expect to print something like the following: Version: 5425 Are you declaring DefineConstants in the same target where runs? If not, then $(Version) will contain the default value (empty string) and cause problems. Perhaps I can be of more help if you show me your *.wixproj file. Edwin G.

Re: [WiX-users] Subversion revision number through a wixproject file using msbuild community tasks
Hello Edwin thanks for your response.I had the toolpath there before and it didnt seem to make any difference, but I added it back again. Actually, I cut and pasted what you had exactly and it still seems like nothing is happening?? Couple of questions: 1. Should I see this(Version: =MyRevisionValue) in the output window of visual studio when I build the wixproj? I have also tried to run it from msbuild and I dont see anything. 2. Could it be the way I am passing the variables from the wixproj to my product.wxs file? This is how I am doing it. Debug;ReleaseDir=..\ProgramName\bin\Release\;SubversionRevision=$(Revision) Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] Subversion revision number through a wixproject file using msbuild community tasks
First check that LocalPath is pointing to the correct location. Sometimes the bug is sooo trivial we don't notice it. ;-) expects svnversion.exe to live at $(ProgramFiles)\Subversion\bin. If it doesn't live there, then specify ToolPath to the directory where it does live. Example: Use while testing to make it easier for the revision to be printed. The verbosity level of msbuild can affect whether these messages are printed or not. Edwin G.

[WiX-users] Subversion revision number through a wixproject file using msbuild community tasks
I realize this probably isnt the right place for this, but I am hoping someone else has got this working and could just give me a hand or better the code... I am trying get subversion revision number through a wixproj file using msbuild community tasks and it is not working! Here is the script I am using. I am not seeing any output in the revision. Thanks in advance.
