@Jared: This is how I generally have my versions configured, however, I always get this warning:

Assembly generation — The version ‘0.0.1.*’ specified for the ‘file version’ is not in the normal ‘major.minor.build.revision’ format

Did you get around this somehow or do you just ignore it?

For what its worth, there is a mismatch between the line and the actual line in the .csproj file.

Also, another way to do this in VS 2008 is to change AssemblyInfo.cs and put * (asterisk) in the build number or revision fields, this will auto generated the build number.

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.*")]

Hi,

I am using your sample project.
I have added a new class lib project to the solution and modified it according your explanation above.
It works!
The assembly versions get updated during every build.

But when I add the project output of the 2 projects to a setup project and try to build the setup, it fails:

“General failure building folders”
“Unrecoverable error”

Do you know what’s wrong here?

Kind regards,
Legends
