I'm not sure if this is already possible or not, but it would be extremely helpful to be able to include the Product Version in the MSI or EXE package path automatically.
We publish all of the current and past versions of our software on our website. Right now I simply tell it to output here:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyProduct\MyProduct.exe
But since we have several versions of the software floating around available for download, I rename the file and add the version number manually in Windows Explorer as new versions come out:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyProduct\MyProduct-1.1.exe
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyProduct\MyProduct-1.2.exe
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyProduct\MyProduct-1.3.exe
Make sense? What would be great is if the version number (or any other Windows Installer property for that matter) could be included in the Package Path setting automatically, something like:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyProduct\MyProduct-[ProductVersion].exe
As we change the version, the installer EXE's filename that is created changes as well.
Thanks for your time.
