Is there a way to update a setup exe's version?

[cmacmore628]

When i build my installscript project the exe's properties always show my current installshield's version. I'd like it to show my products build version. I see i can update the version by going to C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS2008\Redist\Language Independent\i386\ISP and opening the setup.exe file in visual studio and updating the version, but is there a simpiler way?

Under Media / Releases, select the Release you are building and then go to the Setup.exe tab.

Set the Use My Version Info property to Yes.

You can also specify your own copyright information in the Launcher Copyright property.

Note: Performing the above only sets the Product Version in Setup.exe; it's File Version still shows as 14.x

Thank you for the reply but it seems that the options you mentioned are only for basic msi and installscript msi. I am using just a straight installscript project. Those options aren't available for me.
