I think I've found a bug in FinalBuilder 6 (it's also in the latest update released yesterday).

&nbsp;

When I check the checkbox "Use Version Numbers from Project Settings File" in a Delphi Project the version is not loaded from the .bdsproj file - so it will always report 1.0.0.0 (for the first build). I also think I know what's wrong, if I compare the .bdsproj brefore and after the following has happened.

1. The tag "VersionInfo" for name "IncludeVerInfo" has changed from True to 1 (and next build to 2 etc.)

2. The tag "VersionInfoKeys" for name "CompanyName" has changed from "Visionutveckling AB" to "1.0.0.0" after the first rebuild - the next rebuild the version is changed to 1.1.1.1 etc.

So it seems that FinalBuilder reads and writes the wrong tags, plus that autoincrement somehow changes 1.0.0.0 to 1.1.1.1 - which might be a totally different error. Please find the differences below (the original file listed first);

&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;   
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **True**  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 364  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1053  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1252  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;   
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;   
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Visionutveckling AB**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;   
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

This changes to (this was after second rebuild):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;   
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **2**  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 364  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1053  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1252  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;   
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;   
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **1.1.1.2**  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;   
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2.2.0.364

Hi Tomas  
  
Thanks for the report, I was able to reproduce the issue (it was writing using the wrong xpath statement), I have checked in a fix, we'll post a link to a build with the fix shortly.

Thanks for the answer!

&nbsp;

When do you think next build will be released? We're not able to use FinalBuilder until this is fixed, so I'd really appreciate a fix as soon as possible.
