Setting an installer version

matthewj · Post by **matthewj** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 11:36 am

Is it possible to set the version information for the installer exe from the command line, or by modifying a file before compiling? I like to have installers match the app version, so that it can be tested more easily. Thus 1.5.2 build 99 of the app will have that same version for the installer. Some of the fields are settable, but I'd like to know how to automate this in my FinalBuilder script. Modifying an INI file or similar can obviously be programmed if such an option is available.

If not, then it would be nice to add to the wish-list.

Thanks, Matthew

Hi Matthew!

You may use a compiler variable in the project settings dialog for the product version, and then specify the version using that compiler variable from the command line.

That's ideal - many thanks.
