Is there anyway to customize the -y parameter sent to the InstallShield task?&nbsp; Currently, it seems that you have to use a PropertySet with 4 components.&nbsp; My company has switched to X.Y.Z build numbers and there doesn't seem to be a way to pass a version number that list only 3 components.

Any help?

Hi Javier   
  
 I don’t currently have a version of InstallShield here that I can test this with but you should be able to do the following:   
  
 - Disable the ‘Set product version’ option on the Override Parameters of the InstallShield action.   
 - With the InstallShield action selected in the action list press F12 to display the Property Inspector.   
 - Under the ‘Other’ section there is a property called ‘ExtraCommandLineArgs’ specify the version with the following value ‘-y %VersionVariable%’   
  
 This will allow you to set the version for the installer package in desired format.   
  
 Hope this helps.   
  
 Regards,   
 Steve
