You're doing it too late indeed. During msbuild (BeforeCompile?) grasp the build version and write it to a (new?) wxs file. Then add that wxs file to your Compile itemgroup to get it compiled (and linked) to an msi.
Although wix and msbuild/nant follow a declarative style of getting things done, this doesn't mean they understand each other. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jcafaro10 Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 10:10 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Beginning Question Well I think how it works is the version number is stored somewhere so we need to check it out to modify it, and then check it back in so it becomes part of the install. Is there an AfterCompile attribute instead of InstallFiles? Maybe I'm doing that too late. Or is it just not possible to do these things with wix and I have to do them with MSBuild or Nant Brian Poploskie wrote: > > It looks like you have some Nant tags in there.
