Installer version number

[Kristof Thys]

Hello,


I'm adding an installer to my C# application in Visual Studio .Net, wich
works just fine.

Although there are some things wich I can't get done...
- I want to auto-increment the version number of the installer everytime
I build a new release... Is this possible?
- I want to show the version number of the current installer in the
about box of my program... Can this be done? I just can't find where to
get it...
- I want to make it possible to launch the program after the install has
finished... So there has to be a checkbox on the Finished page... Is
this possible?

thx,

Kristof

If I am not mistaken, someone please correct me, that is not possible with
VS.NET. You will have to do it manually.

Yes this is possible, Look at these article for details.
