The name of the msi file that I need to execute changes for each update. It is named app_{0}.{1}.{2}.{3}  where the numbers are the version of the build. I need to be able to run the Make Build and Publish operations from the cmd line as part of my build process.  How do I pass in the name of the msi  through the command line?

Hello,

 

There is not a command line argument that you can pass into the console build utility, however there is an easy solution.

 

You can use the Set Shared Property action to initate a Shared Property that matches the update version.  And since the Execute Msi command line properties support expanding shared properties, you can use the shared property you previously set up to define the Msi name.

 

See the pictures below:
