Set Product Version at build time
I have a basic MSI package. In the past we used the universal installer and set the product version through an environment variable at build time. Is there a way in InstallShield 2010 to set the fields of the product version. Using either environment variables or public properties?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It depends how you're doing your builds; if you're doing command-line builds with ISCmdBld.exe, you can pass the -y switch. Please see the "ISCmdBld.exe" help topic for more information.

Two other ways to Roberts is to use their standalone build engine sdk to compile and write your own compiler to plug into your build environment like we do here. Or more simply, build the file and modify the output msi file using vbscript etc.

The -y option worked well for what we were doing. Thanks for the help. Sorry it took me so long to get back to post a reply.
