Can ISCmdBld update the Product Code?
I'm trying to automate our install deployment and it looks like I only need to change two fields.
Our normal process for creating a install is to rev the Version. (which it looks like I can set with the -y switch). Then we generate a new GUID for the Product Code. If anyone has any tips or examples for changing the Product Code or automating a install build I would love to see them.
Thank you,
-Reinyn

The InstallShield Automation interface nas a GenerateGUID method you can use, which might help. I don't think ISCmdBld supports such a switch, other than -z for setting any property value, but you'd need something else to generate the GUID to feed to ProductCode...

Thanks Robert,
So something like ISCmdBld.exe - z "ProductCode=XXXXXXXX..." would set the value? I might be able to make that work.
Is there a walk through somewhere on how to start using the Automation Interface?

There are some samples in the help topics under "ISWiProject Object". You can also search the newsletter tip archive to get a bunch of articles dealing with Automation: http://www.acresso.com/products/installation/installshield.htm?tabContent=/products/installation/installshield/res_4744.htm.
