Executable version number (WD24)
June 09, 2022 10:28PM
Hi,
My problem:
Windev is not incrementing version number while creating an executable, well, so it seems.

I did some research:
[1]. "Recompile the project before generating..." (Project description): is checked
[2]. "Recompile the project before generating..." (Creating the Windows executable): is checked
[3]. When I set the version number by hand it gets incremented in following compilation and the next one but not after I close and open WD again.
[4]. Thought I'd ask someone smarter than me

Why all this fuss:
I need the version number for updating customer installations

Please !
Have you struggled with a similar problem ?
Is there a work-around?
Have I forgotten to check some magic option ?
Any suggestion will be much welcomed
Thanks in advance

Hello Jacek

Have you ticked the option "Automatically increment the version at each generation" in page 2 of the Version Information section ?

Thanks Al.

Yes, I have.

Sorry for keeping quiet, but I did some more experimenting.
It seems that version does not get incremented when I compile my project in a batch (using *.wdbatch file).
The projects consists of several external components and the project that compiles to an EXE file.
I think I'll just drop WD version incrementing and make it myself just as I did with HTTP updating (Argus kind advice), unless...

All the best
