How do I add the version number to the installer filename?

Post by norgepaul »

Before moving to InstallAware I used InnoSetup. During our beta test phases we found it very useful to tag the version number onto the end of the setup exe e.g.

Normal setup filename: Setup.exe
Version tagged setup filename: SetupV3.1.4.1200

This functionality was very simple using innosetup. Simply grab the version info from the main application file and tag it onto the end of the setup filename.

How can I do this in InstallAware?

Cheers,

Output Options

I just change it in Project Options/Output. To reflect it in the setup text I append the version info to $TITLE$. Just be careful changing the $TITLE$ string itself because if you are creating shortcuts they may end up where you don't want them.
