Hi Rune I haven't checked your links but what we use is the Tfs build server's ability to download the new source from repo, look for all assemblyinfo.cs files and update the version numbers. Then using a wix include file using the variable holding version 1.0.0.0 we update that file and so all installers referring to that include file will get updated appropriately. So far it is working very well for us. We even have an XML file where we store our sprint number in sothat the build server will create a version number in the following format: 1. (sprint).(days since beginning of sprint).(tfs build revision number)
Let me know if this might work for you. I think you can apply this to any CI app. On 20 Jan 2011, at 10:24, Rune Moberg <jjfl...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have googled my eyes out recently, trying to figure out an easy way > of setting my installer's version number to match that of my product. > > I found three alternatives.
