Use preprocessor variables.
We have a file called Version.wxi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Note that this file will be overridden by the autobuild. -->
<Include>
<?define MajorVersion = "1" ?>
<?define MinorVersion = "0" ?>
<?define BuildNumber = "0" ?>
</Include>
Then use these where appropriate:
<Product Id="*" Name="YourApplicationName" Language="1033"
Version="$(var.MajorVersion).$(var.MinorVersion).$(var.BuildNumber)"
Manufacturer="YourManufacturer" UpgradeCode="$(var.CurrentUpgradeCode)">
This file is updated by our autobuild system before it builds the
installer. I hope this example helps. Note that there are different ways
to set the values of the preprocessor variables (e.g.: using
-dname=value switch to candle.exe), this is just the way we do it.
Do note though that 2010 will not be a valid "MajorVersion" because it
is bigger than 255, as Palbinder pointed out.
Best regards,
Kim
