SABLD ProductVersion and MSBUILD
I was reading there is a new command line switch to pass in ProductVersion as part of the build. Is this supported by the MSBuild task? I don't have VisualStudio installed on my clean machine with IS2008 so I can't tell what changes were made to the ISPROJ files.
Currently I have a custom MSBuild Task written in C# that I use to override the BeforeCompile target. The task updates the IS XML before building the solution. It would be nice to just define a property with the version number and build the solution without any additional plumbing.

It doesn't look like we have MSBuild support for setting/overriding the ProductVersion yet, but it would be an obvious addition (and hopefully even easy to implement). I've recorded this as IOC-000058042. Thanks for the request!

Here's an early drop of this before I've even let QA get their hands on it. If you're curious and want to give it a try, you can drop this file in Program Files\MSBuild\Macrovision\IS2008 (or use it wherever's convenient for you). It adds a new string property to the task with name ProductVersion. Let me know if you have any problems with it; I plan to smoketest it tomorrow because I don't have any convenient MSBuild scripts around.

Sorry, I've been too swamped to try to test this. But still, I have another requirement suggestion.... I've had use cases in the past where I don't have enough control over the build output ( third party binaries in some cases ) enough to enforce the component rules. In these scenarios I must treat every build as a major upgrade to make sure that upgrades would work.
It would be nice to have a mechanism in the msbuild and sabld to set a flag telling it to generate a new ProductCode just like the way it'll generate a new PackageCode.
