I use the following in my project, adding it to either the WiX project file or as a task during 'msbuild':
<!-- Define variables to be used throughout the install process --> <Target Name="SetParameters"> <GetAssemblyIdentity AssemblyFiles="..\HRActions\bin\HRActions.dll"> <Output TaskParameter="Assemblies" ItemName="AssemblyVersions" /> </GetAssemblyIdentity> <CreateProperty Value="%(AssemblyVersions.Version)"> <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="AssyVersion" /> </CreateProperty> <CreateProperty Value="$(AssyVersion.Split('.')[0]).$(AssyVersion.Split('.')[1]).$(AssyVersion.Split('.')[2])"> <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="ShortAssyVersion" /> </CreateProperty> <CreateProperty Value="$(DefineConstants);LongAssyVersion=$(AssyVersion)"> <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="DefineConstants" /> </CreateProperty> <CreateProperty Value="$(DefineConstants);ShortAssyVersion=$(ShortAssyVersion)"> <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="DefineConstants" /> </CreateProperty> <Message Text="AssemblyVersions: @(AssemblyVersions)"/> <Message Text="AssyVersions: $(AssyVersion)"/> <Message Text="ShortAssyVersion: $(ShortAssyVersion)"/> </Target> This gets the version applied to the DLL file and then parses out the pieces I want.
