Upgrade add-in version - Changing assembly version strictly required?

Hi,

I am in the process of converting a project to ADX. In that project the assembly version was never upgraded during add-in updates, instead only the WIX installer version number was upgraded. This was handy because it is easier to change a version number in the WIX file than to go into the properties of the assembly, and it worked fine. However, how would this procedure work in for ADX? Am I required to change the DLL/assemly version number as well for each add-in release in order for the ADX loader/register properly?

My add-in is a per-machine add-in if that makes any difference. By the way, I noticed the generated WIX code from creating a setup project contains a lot of custom definitions for the GUI, so I plan to use one of your minimal WIX examples instead as base for the conversion to ADX.

Hello,

Changing the assembly version is only required if you deploy the add-in via ClickOnce.
