OK you clearly missed the point on the page linked so I'll do you a favour & copy & paste it in the hope that you spot the issue this time. Consider this the WiX-users list version of "Where's Wally".
"The format of the string is as follows: major.minor.build The first field is the major version and has a maximum value of 255. The second field is the minor version and has a maximum value of 255. The third field is called the build version or the update version and has a maximum value of 65,535."

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] updating the version number automatically Thanks for the quick reply Pally. I can't use the !(bind.FileVersion.fileId) , because I can't change my file version. Is there any other way to update the version number of the MSI automatically? is it possible to read it from a file ?
