Hi Brian, I am doing this but I feel this is not the way to make the build automated because instead of changing the Product version in Product.wxs we have to change the assembly version of actual exe OR if we make the assembly version of actual exe to increment automatically then everytime we build the solution then this assembly version will gets changed.
Thanks and Regards, Chetan. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Enderle [mailto:bria...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, February 10, 2014 8:22 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Set Product version in Product.wxs file I know this doesn't do exactly what you want but we use the product version of the actual EXE to assign the product version to the MSI. THis way we only need to update the project version and the installer version is automatically updated. Be sure to replace the items in <> with your info. FYI, $(SolutionDir) and $(Configuration) include a trailing '\' so don't add another one. Add the following to the WiX project file: <!-- To modify your build process, add your task inside one of the targets below and uncomment it. Other similar extension points exist, see Wix.targets. --> <Target Name="BeforeBuild"> <GetAssemblyIdentity AssemblyFiles="$(SolutionDir)<ProjectDir>\bin\x86\$(Configuration)<Product>.exe"> <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=$(ShortAssyVersion)"> <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="DefineConstants" /> </CreateProperty> </Target> Then in the Product.wxs you can use: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?define ProductName = "My Product Name"?> <?define CompanyName = "My Company Name"?> <?define CompanyLegalName = "My Company Legal Name"?> <!-- Update GUID when releasing new version --> <?define Guid = "<My Product GUID>"?> <?define UpgradeCode = "<My Upgrade GUID>"?> <?define AppDataFolder = "<My App Data Folder>"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> <Product Id="$(var.Guid)" Name="$(var.ProductName) $(var.ShortAssyVersion)" Language="1033" Version="$(var.LongAssyVersion)" Manufacturer="$(var.CompanyLegalName)" UpgradeCode="$(var.UpgradeCode)"> <Package InstallerVersion="300" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" InstallPrivileges="elevated" Comments="$(var.ProductName) $(var.LongAssyVersion)" Keywords="Version $(var.LongAssyVersion)" /> Brian If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein On Mon, Feb 10, 2014 at 8:48 AM, Chetan Rajakumar < chetan_rajaku...@infosys.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > Below is my requirement: > I have a Version.txt file kept under WixInstaller project and I have > below text in Version.txt: > BuildVersion=1.2.3.4 > Now I have to read the above BuildVersion from the Version.txt and > Update the value of Product Version in Product.wxs file. > Something like below: > <Product Id="*" Name="MyProduct" Language="1033" > Version="$Read Build version from Version.txt" > Manufacturer="MyManufacturer" > UpgradeCode="335569EF-2DF3-4CD7-8EDA-59996E345553"> > > Please help me out to achieve this requirement, Thanks in advance. > > > Regards, > Chetan. > > **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail > contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for > the use of the addressee(s).
