dont forget to put
1.0.0
before
Debug;ProductVersion=$(Version)

like this:

1.0.0
bin\$(Configuration)\
obj\$(Configuration)\
Debug;ProductVersion=$(Version)

by the way great article saved me some time figuring it out thanks!!

Jaspreet,

You have to call msbuild and declare the variable on the command line.

Something like msbuild installer.proj /p:Version=3.0.0.0

I have followd all the steps for setting up a property, but still I am getting the error “Undefined preprocessor variable ‘$(var.ProductVersion)’”.

I am new to WiX, please suggest if there is anything needs to be taken care of ?
