Advanced Installer Command Line Problem

I'm attempting to configure the Advanced Installer (6.5.2) build to update it's version from my application executable. It looks like the sequence of flags on the command line is incorrect, I get an error on that build step.

When I manually copied and pasted and modified the sequence, it worked ok.

Here is the command line generated that fails:
"C:\Program Files\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 6.5.2\AdvancedInstaller.com" /edit MySetup.aip /setversion MyApplication.exe -fromfile

If I move the -fromfile to before the application filename, it works:
"C:\Program Files\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 6.5.2\AdvancedInstaller.com" /edit MySetup.aip /setversion -fromfile MyApplication.exe

Is there a way I can change how the command line is built?

Thanks,
Andy

Re: Advanced Installer Command Line Problem

Hello Andy and welcome yo our forums,

I'm afraid you can not change this order. This is the default implementation, as mentioned on our Set Version Command Option article.

/SetVersion { <version_string> | -fromfile <file_path> | -increment } [-noprodcode]

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,
Liviu
