title: Is it possible to set product version at build time in a Basic MSI project?
body: <p>I have an InstallScript project that I'm looking at manually recreating as a Basic MSI project. For the InstallScript project, we obtain the product version at build time through the following mechanism:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Ant does all the compiling, testing, etc. and during this process obtains a build version number.</li>
  <li>Ant calls IsCmdBld.exe, passing the build version as an environment variable.</li>
  <li>Installshield has an "Environment"-type path variable configured, which picks up the build version.</li>
  <li>This path variable is specified in the General Information -> Product Version field.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, it looks like the Basic MSI project does not allow path variables in the Product Version field.</p>
  
  <p>Does this mean the product version has to always be manually modified before each build with a Basic MSI project? Or is there a different way to pass the version to InstallShield?</p>
