Yes.
If the AssemblyVersion is what you're after, Microsoft MSBuild supports you
directly:
<!-- Get the version info from the assembly to use as the version number of the
assembly -->
<Target Name="ExtractVersionInfo">
<GetAssemblyIdentity
AssemblyFiles="$(IntermediateOutputPath)\$(AssemblyName).dll">
<Output TaskParameter="Assemblies" ItemName="MyAssembly" />
</GetAssemblyIdentity>
</Target>
In this example, %(MyAssembly.Version) will evaluate to the AssemblyVersion of
the assembly at "$(IntermediateOutputPath)\$(AssemblyName).dll".
If you want the AssemblyFileVersion, you'll need the
MSBuild.Community.Extensions:
<MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Framework.Assembly TaskAction="GetInfo"
NetAssembly="$(SetupAssembly)">
<Output TaskParameter="OutputItems" ItemName="Info" />
</MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Framework.Assembly>
<Message Text="Assembly File Version: %(Info.FileVersion)" />
%(Info.FileVersion) will have the AssemblyFileVersion of $(SetupAssembly).

Subject: [WiX-users] Take version number from file not installed in the package
I need to get the version number for an msi from an exe file that isn't
deployed as item from the msi?Is there a way to get the file versione from a
file using his folder path?
in the same way I need to set the version of an exe setup package added in a
Burn setup to make it upgrading correctly.I think I can add the version number
using a "Provides element" from "DependencyExtension" but I don't know how to
set it automatically to the version number of the exe file itself.
