The WiX toolset isn't going to make it easy to lie about the Version number. You'll probably need to go into the Binder code and hack it so that you can provide your own version number for the files in the way that you're being directed.
I find it strange that you're being told to find other ways to solve your problem than the ones supported by the Windows Installer. To be clear, because you are trying (being told?) to go against the MSI SDK you are going to be fighting the WiX toolset in many cases. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Anderson Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 7:07 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Getting file versions Brett Kapilik <brett <at> indigorose.com> writes: > > What about using the CompanionFile attribute (File element) for the > non-versioned file? > > - Brett > That suggestion was provided, but I was told to investigate the other option. -Matt Anderson ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
