No, there is not. There is a related preprocessor macro that will generate a Microsoft-style version number provide a product major and product minor, but the functiontionality you want really needs to exist early in the build process. It is sad that Microsoft only chose to expose the AssemblyVersion in a standard MSBuild task, but the MSBuild.ExtensionPak certainly extends well beyond that.
Using reflection, you can get whatever you want out of an assembly, but again that is not Wix functionality. Burn, of course, has access to many of these properties from an MSI, but that is much later in a build. -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Enterprise Service Applications | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Brian Enderle [mailto:bria...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2014 8:54 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.
