copied!<p>Some sample code as promised. This should be enough to get you started.</p> <p>The following JavaScript can be used to create an InnoSetup iss file containing the version number. The actual file will look like this:</p> <pre><code>VersionInfoVersion=1.2.3.12345 AppVerName=My App v1.2.3.12345 </code></pre> <p>The main Inno Setup script will include this file by adding the following to the end of the <strong>[Setup]</strong> section:</p> <pre><code>[Setup] AppId={{...}} ... #include "version.iss" </code></pre> <p>Here is the JavaScript (this would be saved as a separate file - version.js for example):</p> <pre><code>createInnoSetupIncludeFile("My App", 1, 2, 3, 12345, "version.iss"); function createInnoSetupIncludeFile(appName, verMajor, verMinor, verSubMinor, buildNumber, headerFileName) { var versionString = verMajor + "." + verMinor + "." + verSubMinor + "." + buildNumber; var fileSystemObject = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var fileObject = fileSystemObject.CreateTextFile(headerFileName, true); fileObject.WriteLine("VersionInfoVersion=" + versionString); fileObject.WriteLine("AppVerName=" + appName + " v" + versionString); fileObject.Close(); fileObject = null; fileSystemObject = null; } </code></pre> <p>You could tweak this script to create the version.iss file in a different folder.</p> <p>Finally you need to execute the JavaScript - the best place would be in the Pre-Build Event of your Visual Studio project. Add the following:</p> <pre><code>cscript version.js //NoLogo </code></pre> <p>You would need to change this to also build a Wix compatible include file. I used to do this, but dumped Wix in favour of Inno Setup, so I don't have this code to hand. There is a mechamism for a Wix script though, so that should point you in the right direction - the concept is the same - generate a text file that defines the version number and then include it.</p> <p>Hope this helps.</p>
