Update the Product Version

[lekfir]

Hello,
I use Advanced Installer to run from Command Line.
However, I want to increment the [Product Version] in 1 each time it runs.
How can I perform that?

My batch looks like that:
"C:\Program Files\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 6.8\AdvancedInstaller.exe" /execute "C:\Development\Installer\Client\Client.aip" C:\Automation\AICommands.txt –nofail

And AICommands.txt:
;aic
SetVersion 1.2
save
rebuild

Hi,

You can try using the -increment parameter for the "/SetVersion" command. For example, your commands file can look like this:

Code: Select all

;aic
SetVersion -increment
save
rebuild

Hi,
Maybe my command line is incorrect?

"C:\Program Files\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 6.8\AdvancedInstaller.com" /execute "C:\Development\Installer\Client\Client.aip" C:\AICommands.txt –nofail

Thanks

Hi,

The command line seems correct. Did you try using the parameter I mentioned?

Thanks Cosmin,
That worked but can I pass the version as a parameter?

[Cosmin]

Hi,

I'm afraid that this is not supported by the "-increment" parameter. This parameter will make Advanced Installer automatically increment the existing version.
I'm not sure why you would need to pass the version as the parameter. Can you please give me more details about what you need to do?

Sure,
I am using Team Build to run the automatic build.
At the end of the build I want that the Advanced Installer will run with the same Product Version with the same build label.

Hi,

I'm a bit confused about what you need. If you want to use the same Product version, then you don't need to use the "/SetVersion" command or increment the version. This way, the build process will simply update the package.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by build label. Can you please give me more details about this? Are you referring to the "build" field of the version?

Well Cosmin,
That’s exactly what I need.
I am using Team Build (part of Team Foundation Server) to generate an automatic build.
At the end of the build I manually run the Advanced Installer file (the aip file).
What I am trying to do is to fully automate the process and part of the build process Advanced Installer will generate the exe file. The aip file is a part of the build so I just need to run it but with the correct Product Version.
How can I configure my build so "...the build process will simply update the package." as you wrote...

Thanks!

Hi Lekfir,

You can try using the "/SetVersion" command with the "-increment" parameter:

Code: Select all

/SetVersion -increment

Also, the Product Version should use only three fields. This way, when the command runs the version of the package will be increased by 1.

Hi Cosmin,
How can I perform the same action from command line but to the Updates Configuration File ?
Thanks!

[Cosmin]

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The Updates Configuration file does not have a version.
Unfortunately the command line interface can be used only for Simple, Professional, Java Application and Enterprise projects.

Hi Cosmin,
I want to run build of Updates Configuration file from command line.
Is it possible?
Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, all AIP files support the build and rebuild commands (the command is the same for all AIP files).

The result of a build of Updates Configuration file is a TXT file that looks like that:

;aiu;
[Ver_0.1.1]
Name=TestApp
URL=http://updater....
Size=7636602
ReleaseDate=10/03/2009
MD5=03ab7a1fcdc08335dae7ac761050b3c3
ServerFileName=TestApp.exe
FilePath=[APPDIR]TestApp.exe
Version=0.1.1.0

I have the following command line:

"c:\Program Files\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 6.8\advancedInstaller.com" /execute C:\Installer\Client\UpdateConfiguration.aip C:\AICUpdate.txt -nofail

What is the syntax of AICUpdate.txt that I should pass to the AIP file to run that build?
Thanks
