How to custom name for update exe' ?

Hi,
I'm not sure this feature exists but
i'm manually typing in the name of the new version because it contains the version number.
Should I do that?

I mean productversion property does not exist in update configuration project.

Thanks you.

Re: How to custom name for update exe' ?

Hi,
after every updating, my task is to create a new one .txt file.
my problem is when opening this project it doesn't update the new version.
is it possible to have new product version automatically and i can build the txt file directly?

Below is an illustration of the configuration update file.
Thanks you!

Hello,
my problem is when opening this project it doesn't update the new version.
is it possible to have new product version automatically and i can build the txt file directly?
You could try to achieve that through the "/UpdateInstaller" command.

Regarding the "Name" field, please note that it is not formatted, meaning you can not input a property there.

Hope this helps!

Re: How to custom name for update exe' ?

Hi catalin,
I have more questions about the update configuration.
Below is the interface image.
My problem was that after build updated version of exe, it was in a different version (ex: xx.6.28)

However if I build the .txt file, advanceinstaller is not checked file to create new txt file with new version.
I mean I'll have to manually update as follow image2.

Is it possible to automatically determine the version before clicking build?

Thanks you!

Re: How to custom name for update exe' ?

Hello,

I'm afraid you need to manually set the version - the version will not be retrieved from your executable.

If this is not what you meant, please give me some more details, perhaps I've misunderstood your question here.
