get the installer version of Visual Studio setup project

Hi there,

I'd do it pragmatically and simply store the software version in your software.
You could use the version property during the buld time as far as I know.

Try the

Application.ProductVersion

Hi DocSeltsam, Thanks for your reply.

If I follow your sugestion, I have to be changing the software version in the project properties, right?

But that's exactly what I want to avoid. I already have to change the Version property in the Setup Project every new version. Would have to keep reminding myself to change it elsewhere, increasing the chances of error. That's why I'm trying to use the Version property of the Setup Project.


Hi CodeCruiser, Thanks for your reply.

I develop my web applications in ASP.NET / VB.NET 2005 and don't have ProductVersion in the Page.Application property.

Your sugestion

Are you deploying the website using a Windows Installer?

See if this helps

Hi CodeCruiser,

Sorry for reply only now but I was doing other things more urgent.

Your suggestion does not solve my problem. The only thing that I want is to get the number that is put in the version property of the Setup project, like below:
