I want my installer wix project to retrieve the version # of a built
assembly and then use that for the version in the installer. I am
using preprocessor variables in my wix code and that all works great
if I use the command line.
In my installer msbuild project I have the following target
<Target Name="RetrieveIdentities">
<GetAssemblyIdentity
AssemblyFiles="..\MySql.Data\Provider\bin\release\mysql.data.dll">
<Output TaskParameter="Assemblies" ItemName="Version" />
</GetAssemblyIdentity>
<Warning Text="version = %(Version.Version)" />
<CreateProperty Value="6.0.0">
<Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="CurrentVersion" />
</CreateProperty>
</Target>
And then later I have this
<PropertyGroup>
<BuildDependsOn>RetrieveIdentities;$(BuildDependsOn)</BuildDependsOn>
</PropertyGroup>
By using the warning element I can see that my RetrieveIdentities
target is running. I'm trying to use my version property here
<PropertyGroup>
<DefineConstants>Version=$(CurrentVersion)</DefineConstants>
<WixVariables></WixVariables>
</PropertyGroup>
But this doesn't appear to be working. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
