Visual Studio Setup auto increment Project version number

Question

I use Visual Studio installation projects to create MSI for my .Net applications. It would be nice if my version numbers automatically incremented. It would be even better to install the installer version equal to AssemblyVersion of the primary exe output.

Answer 1

If this does not overwhelm you, use BuildServer (for example, TeamCity (free for up to 20 projects). With a little msbuild encoding, you can beautifully automate the creation of your installers (including the automatic incr version number.)
