How to autoincrement ProductVersion?

Hi,

I want InstallShield to increment the ProductVersion by 1 (i.e. change from 1.00.0000 to 1.00.0001) and also autogenerate a new GUID for ProductVersion everytime I build the InstallShield project.

Is it possible?

Or should I convert the InstallShield project type from binary to XML and make the necessary modifications on the XML file?

-Best regards.

For source control reasons, I'd use XML format regardless. The other questions depend on how you go about doing your build automation. If you are calling IsCmdBld then you can use the -y and -z swithes to pass in the ProductVersion and PoductCode properties. You can also using the automation interface to generate a guid and update the project that way.
