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 NSIS v3.0a0 you can do it directly in the script, no external tools needed: !getdllversion

Sample code (from the documentation):

!getdllversion "$%WINDIR%\Explorer.exe" Expv_
!echo "Explorer.exe version is ${Expv_1}.${Expv_2}.${Expv_3}.${Expv_4}"
