Category: compiler Group: Denied >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Submitted By: The Mad Butcher (mad_burcher) Assigned to: Derek (derekc) Summary: Fill property with fileversion Initial Comment: Make it possible to implement a way to assign the fileversion of a file (embedded in the MSI) to a property. This property might be used in the rest of the wix- code (eg. my goal is that the Product/@Version can be filled based on my main application in the msi file) But it should also be possible to check for upgrades based on this property.

We had a discussion about a feature like this a while ago and the consensus was that its cleanest to just pass in any versioning information as a preprocessor variable which is then used in the appropriate places in the authoring. For example, the upgrade information cannot be populated with a property because it doesn't support formatted columns - so this can only be done with the preprocessor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642717&aid=1509926&group_id=105970 Using Tomcat but need to do more?
