Resource Information - bug?

[Steve_K]

The new 'Custom version information' feature was something we all were waiting for, but I seem to be unable to use

%ProductVer%

in the 'FileVersion' and 'Product Version' boxes of the 'Custom Version Information' section. After compiling the setup, the version info reads 0.0.0.0 - is that by design, or a bug?

Can't I use the %ProductVer% varaible to dynamically set the version info? If not, this 'new feature' is kind of useless as it is a pain to remember to manually edit the information for each update I build.

Thanks.

Hi Steve_K

If you are looking for dynamic custom version information use design-time constants. You can use the same desing-time constant for the %ProductVer% value and the custom version information.

Session variables are dynamic and meant for the runtime, while design-time constants are meant for design and build times.

Will try that. Thanks! :)

OK, tried that, but how do I get a design-time constant to be equal a session variable? Sorry for being a pain ... the help file does not tell me anything about that.

Hi Steve_K,

The trick is to use the design-time constant for the value of %ProductVer%.

[Steve_K]

Sure - didn't get that. :)
