AssemblyFileVersion not being set with "Build VS.Net Solution" action

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

 I was running down a production issue today and found that FinalBuilder is not setting the AssemblyFileVersion in a couple of VS2k5 projects. We have the "Update Assembly Info for .NET Projects" checked and "Use Property Set for Version Info" checked and it is setting the AssemblyVersion just fine but not the AssemblyFileVersion. Checking back through our history it was working prior to when we upgraded the version of FinalBuilder on July 10th or 11th to 6.3.0.1472. I have confirmed that it is still a problem in 6.3.0.1712.

As a workaround I am setting the version numbers directly using some existing variables and that seems to be working okay.

Any idea why this is occurring and when there might be a fix?

Thanks!

Hi Nathan

I think this is an unintended change made a while back. The fix is to add a Property Set Assign Values action, and Set the LinkFileVersion property to True. Before the change the AssemblyVersion and AssemblyFileVersion were always linked when assigned from a property set.
