I use the following in my project, adding it to either the WiX project file
or as a task during 'msbuild':
<!-- Define variables to be used throughout the install process -->
<Target Name="SetParameters">
<GetAssemblyIdentity AssemblyFiles="..\HRActions\bin\HRActions.dll">
<Output TaskParameter="Assemblies" ItemName="AssemblyVersions" />
</GetAssemblyIdentity>
<CreateProperty Value="%(AssemblyVersions.Version)">
<Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="AssyVersion" />
</CreateProperty>
<CreateProperty
Value="$(AssyVersion.Split('.')[0]).$(AssyVersion.Split('.')[1]).$(AssyVersion.Split('.')[2])">
<Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="ShortAssyVersion" />
</CreateProperty>
<CreateProperty
Value="$(DefineConstants);LongAssyVersion=$(AssyVersion)">
<Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="DefineConstants" />
</CreateProperty>
<CreateProperty
Value="$(DefineConstants);ShortAssyVersion=$(ShortAssyVersion)">
<Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="DefineConstants" />
</CreateProperty>
<Message Text="AssemblyVersions: @(AssemblyVersions)"/>
<Message Text="AssyVersions: $(AssyVersion)"/>
<Message Text="ShortAssyVersion: $(ShortAssyVersion)"/>
</Target>
This gets the version applied to the DLL file and then parses out the
pieces I want.
