Dear NG,

ich have a problem since our upgrade for VS2003 to VS2005: In our
automated nightly build process we build some MSIs - in this process
we set the productcode and the version of the setup projects via DTE.

Therefore I wrote a VS macro, which is called through devenv
Solution.sln /command "Macros.MyMacros.Module4.testForNG
params" (example for NG, code is attached).

The problem is know: when we set the version in VS2005 through this
macro, we get a messagbox with text like this : "It is recommended to
upgrade the productcode when you change the version ... YES/NO/
CANCEL".

This is a great problem, because the messagebox stops the automated
build process ...

The question to you is:
* has anybody a solution for this on such a problem?

The only idea I have is to get a reference to this messagebox and
close it from code.
* does anybody know how to do this with DTE?
* or: which DTE Event is responsibel for this box?

An other Solution might be to write the productcode and version in the
*.vdproj via FSO - this is a solution I currently don't like to
implement.

   ' I have a solution with two projects:
   ' Project: HelloWorld.csproj, type Console App
   ' Project: Setup1, type: Setup Project
   Sub testForNG()

       Dim soln As Solution
       Dim projs As Projects
       Dim proj, activeProj As Project
       Dim props As Properties

       soln = DTE.Solution
       ' get all projects of current solution
       projs = soln.Projects

       ' search project by name
       For Each proj In DTE.Solution.Projects
           If (proj.Name = "Setup1") Then
               props = proj.Properties
           End If
       Next

       ' set ProductCode
       props.Item("ProductCode").Value() = "{" &
System.Guid.NewGuid.ToString & "}"
       ' set Version
       props.Item("Version").Value() = "1.0.0.0"
