Updating Rev number when building from commandline

[seanmckenna]

I was reading through the following post, which states that the IDE will automatically update the Rev number so that my install project can do an upgrade when its installed.

But what happens if I build the install from the command line? In my situation, the InstallAware project file is stored in Source Control and the latest version is gotten in our automated build script. Once this version is copied to our build machine, we build the install project, but nothing is checked back in to source control.

When I worked with Installshield, I had to add a step to our build process that went into the project file and created a new Rev GUID. Will I need to keep this manual process? If so, how can I do it?

Thanks.

I found there is a commandline option to change the Rev number each time you build. This is quite handy. I spent a couple days trying to figure out how to automate this in InstallShield!
