I prefer this pre-build PowerShell script to auto-increment my build version.
It gives greater control in how the version is incremented, when it is incremented (e.g. Release mode vs Debug mode) and which file(s) to actually update with the new version (e.g AssemblyInfo.cs and/or Variables.wxi). http://eldirte.blogspot.com/2013/10/visual-studio-pre-build-event-scripts.html Hope this helps. -dirt On 2013-10-23 17:28, victorwhiskey wrote: > Currently I'm using > > Version = !(bind.FileVersion.fil1241xxxxxxx) > > to bind the file version number to my MSI, where fil1241xxxxxx is a > component id I specified.
