I am trying to incorporate automated version via AssemblyInfo [assembly: AssemblyVersion("2.0.*")]. I have added the Version="!(bind.FileVersion.FILEEXE)" to the Product.wxs in my setup which generates an MSI file. According to my reading, MSI does not have a version property for me to access in the Bundle.wxs in the Bootstrapper project. How can I set the version in Bootstrapper to sync with my application's version automatically?

In your bootstrapper's <Bundle> element use attribute Version="!(bind.packageVersion.YourPackageName)"
Where YourPackageNameis the Id of the MsiPackage in the chain you wish to use the attribute from.
You can also bind all the other attributes this way, bundle name, manufacturer, etc.
