/SetVersion as a PreBuild Event

[Jimmy]

Hi there

I was able to get a new Package Version using /SetVersion -fromfile- method with commandline tool.
I it possible to something similar as a pre-build event?
I assume it doesn't make some sense if I try to implement the CL- method to a project, while it is open?

Thanks in advance an d best regards!

Hi Jimmy,

Unfortunately, you cannot perform any Advanced Installer CLI changes on your project as a build event. This happens because that information is used from memory at build time and not from the disk.

You can try a designated automated build CLI approach like ANT for example.

All the best,
Mihai
