inserting nightly build version number into project

[jrokicki]

We build our product on a regular (lets say nightly) basis.

As part of that process, Windows environment variables contain the product version number and build number.

I would like this to be reflected in what gets built by IA2010.

I see that the project file contains the version number information, but it is what is set through the GUI.

Is there a way of feeding this dynamic information (version, build number) into the build? Or must the project file be updated every time?

Potentially solved the problem with the "XML Project File Tools" directory contents.

Tough to find simple stuff like this in the doc set :mad:

The transforms wont actually change the version number, but are a great template to write your own. I plan to use this to change the version numbers as well as the absolute paths to JAR files used as custom actions. I will post the xsl file once I have completed it.

Here is a modified xsl file that allows you to change the version numbers and the location of where custom action JAR files are located. Your mileage may vary. 🙂

here is an example on how to change the configuration build file to reflect build-specific locations.
