Question

I’d like to set the builds name in Visual Studio to something like that:
MyApp_{VERSION}_x32.exe

Under project settings I can define the Output file name “Release\MyApp.exe”

Any ideas?

Start by adding a new property sheet to your project. Name it as you like, then open it with the property manager view. Now:

1. add a new user defined property, name it Version and set it to your value of choice
2. set your output file (in link editor) to $(OutDir)\$(ProjectName)_$(Version).exe
