Installer version number

Hello,
I'm adding an installer to my C# application in Visual Studio .Net, wich
works just fine.

Although there are some things wich I can't get done...
- I want to auto-increment the version number of the installer everytime
I build a new release... Is this possible?
- I want to show the version number of the current installer in the
about box of my program... Can this be done? I just can't find where to
get it...
- I want to make it possible to launch the program after the install has
finished... So there has to be a checkbox on the Finished page... Is
this possible?

thx,

Kristof

> - I want to auto-increment the version number of the installer every time
I build a new release... Is this possible? If I am not mistaken, someone please correct me, that is not possible with
VS.NET. You will have to do it manually.

this possible? Yes this is possible, Look at these article for details.
