    copied!<p>One way would be to define the variables in your MSBuild script, and have it update Defines.wxi at build time, as in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140301225546/http://tranxcoder.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/a-custom-task-for-building-wix-under-msbuild-tfs/" rel="nofollow">this example</a>.</p> <p>In your MSBuild script, you could define the version properties as follows:</p> <pre><code> &lt;PropertyGroup&gt; &lt;MajorVersion&gt;1&lt;/MajorVersion&gt; &lt;MinorVersion&gt;08&lt;/MinorVersion&gt; &lt;BuildVersion&gt;11&lt;/BuildVersion&gt; &lt;WixConfigPath&gt;.\Defines.wxi&lt;/WixConfigPath&gt; &lt;_VariableDefinitions&gt; &lt;Root&gt; &lt;VariableDefinition Name="MajorVersion" NewValue="$(MajorVersion)" /&gt; &lt;VariableDefinition Name="MinorVersion" NewValue="$(MinorVersion)" /&gt; &lt;VariableDefinition Name="BuildVersion" NewValue="$(BuildVersion)" /&gt; &lt;/Root&gt; &lt;/_VariableDefinitions&gt; &lt;/PropertyGroup&gt; &lt;Target Name="UpdateWixVars"&gt; &lt;WixVarSubstitution SourceFile="$(WixConfigPath)" VariableDefinitions="$(_VariableDefinitions)"/&gt; &lt;/Target&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then running the UpdateWixVars target will update the version numbers in Defines.wxi with the version numbers specified in your MSBuild project.</p> <p>Note that I could not find an actual compiled dll with this custom build task, so I had to create it by:</p> <ol> <li>Download the source <a href="http://www.hempel.cx/Misc/WixVarSubstitution.cs" rel="nofollow">from here</a>. Build it and name the file Tranxition.BuildTasks.dll.</li> <li><p>Add the reference to the build task like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;UsingTask TaskName="WixVarSubstitution" AssemblyFile="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Tranxition\Tranxition.BuildTasks.dll"/&gt; </code></pre></li> </ol>
