Variable Setup File Name

[OneSharpeGuy]

I want to be able to make the setupfile automatically reflect the Visual Basic ProjectFile Name and Version Number (like MyProject_1_2_34) is this possible to do with variables at buildtime?

Sure, just define some constants for it (Publish > Settings, click on Constants tab) and use those constants where you'd put the filename.

e.g. #PROJECT_NAME##BUILD_NUMBER#.exe

If you're performing an unattended build, you can use an ini file to set the values for those constants. Otherwise, just go to Publish > Settings and adjust the values whenever they change.

I'm a newby Lorne. Tell me more. Give me a brief example of how you would do this with an INI file.

Just look up "unattended build options" in the SF7 help file. Either use the index to find "unattended build objects," or use the Table of Contents to navigate to:

Program Reference > Misc > Command Line Options

...and click on the Unattended Build Options link.

Or, just click here:

It's the same "Command Line Options" and "Unattended Build Options" topics in WebHelp form.
