I have googled my eyes out recently, trying to figure out an easy way
of setting my installer's version number to match that of my product.

I found three alternatives. None of them appeals to me, because they
are either kludgy, involves some kind of plug-in or ...well, kludgy:

(which links to the third option)

My idea is this: When I include a project reference, I get all sorts
of nice variables defined. Target platform - check. TargetDir - check.
Target version... Target version? The one really interesting attribute
of my included project is MIA.

Is there a possibility this can be included eventually? I suspect this
would prove helpful to quite a few users.

Or is there already a more elegant solution to this seemingly simple "problem"?

Thanks for all the great help so far guys.
