Changing setup.exe name using Product Name

In Basic MSI project, how can I use Properties or any kind of variable to change setup.exe name?
I want it to be ProductName_ProductVersion.exe, and I do not want to keep changing it with every new release.

If nothing else, you can use the InstallShield Automation interface to read the property values and then touch up the file name before performing a build.

So there is no way to use {ProductVersion} or or anything like that?
Editing an XML file is always an options, but I was trying to see if I can avoid it...

No, unfortunately it does not.
[PRODNAME] or any other property used there just shows up a literal [PRODNAME] in file name.

I'd love to have a solution for this too, specifically, including the ProductVersion in the name of setup.exe.

Apart from the Automation suggestion a couple of replies back, I'm not aware of anything built in...
