You're still missing the point.
"The first field is the major version and has a maximum value of 255."
Is 2010 greater or less than 255?
You can do something like
<?define ProductVersion="2010.2.0.0" ?>
<Product Id="{B6870E83-42B6-409F-9309-8363A604C1F1}"
Version="!(var.ProductVersion)" >
But you're still not going to get it to work as you can't have 2010 as
your major version field. Unless you bind it to a different file you're
going to have to manually update the version number somewhere to
something which falls within the range allowed by Windows Installer,
either in your WiX code or in whatever method you use to set something
like var.ProductVersion before you build.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] updating the version number automatically
I think u missed what i was asking. My assembly has a version
2010.2.0.0. I dont want to change that version. And because of this I
can't use the !(bind.FileVersion.fileId), which will update the product
version number based on the assembly version.
<Product Id="{B6870E83-42B6-409F-9309-8363A604C1F1}"
Version="!(bind.FileVersion.myfileId)" >
So i was asking if there is any other method to update the version
number automatically now that i cannot use !(bind.FileVersion.fileId).
Thanks for the "Where's Wally" stuff though.
