bootstrapper - How to make the WiX Bundle version the same as my application's version -
the "version" attribute in wix bundle displayed in programs , features. therefore ought same actual application's version number, right?
on assumption should same doesn't seem obvious how have update automatically. i've got msi doing per this question, not bundle/bootstrapper bit. how can make bootstrapper bundle same thing , read msi version number?
to answer first question, there no hard , fast rules this. not must update wix bundle version , match msi version.
as second question, not sure. can try binder variable:
!(bind.packageversion.packageid) edit replace packageid element "id" attribute of program installing. like: version="!(bind.packageversion.myappname)"
<msipackage sourcefile="somepath\myappname.msi" id="myappname"/> as mentioned in post. check wix documentation more binder variables.
edit 5/11/2017 - looks there confusion around packageid should , have edited answer based on bob lutz answer below.
