Is it possible to set the values for for product version and copyright year in Project -> Description tab from a properties file. I am more intrerested about setting major, minor, revision, subRevision properties for productVersion from a properties file.
AFAIK, not directly. What I do is to write there some variables that I replace prior to building (and if you do that for instance, you'll note that the Advanced Designer will complain about the value not being made of numbers).
How can you put variables in the version field in the advanced designer? IA doesnt allow letters in there. I need to put SP1 as part of my version number and I build my installer using Ant.
We use ant to build as well. It dynamically creates a project.iap_xml from a template that contains tailoring labels such as @VERSION_MAJOR@, @VERSION_MINOR@, etc. We use the copy command and a filter set like so:
The VERSION_MAJOR & VERSION_MINOR properties are loaded from a properties file that is edited at the start of each release cycle.
