Hi,

 

Is there any way in which we can have some automation script to create installer builds?

For example,

Can we make some batch file/script file which will update ProductVersion, ProductCode, PackageCode, Setup File Name and will build the installer project to give output as Setup.msi/Setup.exe files?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Saurabh

The -z option of the command line build lets you overwrite property values. You may also find other parameters useful.

I'm sorry. But I did not understand your reply.

How to use that '-z' option and where to set it.

This is from IS 2014 but I doubt there have been any changes since.  When building your project file with the Stand-Alone-Build, you can use these switches to change your product.  The -z option allows you to pass values to use for certain properties.  Properties available for override are in the Property Manager view in the editor.
