If you use MSBuild 4.0 and know another property such as the filename you can 
use the <XMLPeek> element to extract the Id.

Thanks,

Subject: [WiX-users] How do you bind a version number to a binary with an 
autogenerated wix component id?

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. How do I do it when it's generated per build?

Thanks!
