NSIS - put EXE version into name of installer

Question

NSIS has a Name variable that you define in the script:

Name \"MyApp\"

It defines the name of the installer, that gets displayed as the win

Answer 1

Since NSISv3.0 this can be done with !getddlversion without using any third-party software:

!getdllversion "MyApp.exe" ver
Name "MyName ${ver1}.${ver2}.${ver3}.${ver4}"
OutFile "my_name_install_v.${ver1}.${ver2}.${ver3}.${ver4}.exe"
