Change Product name via product version


Best Answer Glytzhkof , 27 June 2014 - 17:14

Possible if you use major upgrades at least. I don't think this would work for patching, at least not in earlier versions of the Windows Installer engine. Besides, including the version in the product name is not good practice.

Hi people,

 

Is there a way the change the product name in fonction of the product version ?

 

For example, if my product name is : BCU 1.0.0,  is it possible if i install a patch 1.0.1, that my product name changes to BCU 1.0.1 ?

 

I have thought it would have been possible to call my product name : BCU [ProductVersion]    (ProductVersion being the product version property), but it doesnt work of course :P.

 

Thanks you :)

 

Julien
