ProductVersion update for MSI Projects

The script is written in VBScript and is quite simple.

• read the project file passed in the command line, e.g., Setup.vdproj
• backup the original file, just in case something goes wrong ;-)
• find the version number
• increment the version number
• replace the version number with the new value
• replace the product code with a new GUID
• replace the package code with a new GUID
• write the updated project file back to disk

Save IncrementSetupVersion.vbs 

For auto increment setup project version use scripts IncrementSetupVersion.vbs add them to pre-build events. 

first argument is setup project file, second is file with assembly version Example: "$(ProjectDir)..\SetupScript\IncrementSetupVersion.vbs" "$(ProjectDir)Setup.vdproj" "$(ProjectDir)..\version.txt"

Insert SVNRevision and Build number in your AssemblyInfo

MSBuild Community Task, you can easily automatically generate smart version numbers, you have to:

• Download MSBuildCommunityTasks " https://github.com/loresoft/msbuildtasks/downloads "
• Make sure your “svn.exe” binary is in C:\program files\subversion\bin
• Add this at the end of your .csproj /.vbproj  file
