Matlab compiler adding version info

Hello

I currently work with the Matlab Compiler App (Matlab 2017b) and would like to add the version number to be able to check which version is used by the customer. I have already tried to set the values in the corresponding field

However it is not written into the exe version info (sorry it is german) Dateiversion or at least Produktversion should contain the value.

I found already the suggestion to use AssemlyInfo.cs which does not help in my case .

Has anyone a suggestion or need some additional informations?

Bg

I put my version number in the installer filename e.g. MyAppName_v1_4.

It's not ideal though since you don't know after you have installed it which version it is, so I have taken to adding an 'About...' dialog to my GUIs now in which I put version information, which is certainly more work. I've never actually looked at Windows version information though.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I was already thinking of this. One issue remains the user has to open the exe and it can not be updated automatically from a central IT infrastructure point.

It could happen that an update is only required for acertain version number and not necessarily on all versions in the field.

It seems that this issue is a bigger once as I was thinking of. Hopefully Mathworks will provide some update of this.

Unfortunately, there is not a way to add the version number in MATLAB Compiler APP. The development team has been informed about the enhancement request.

As a workaround, you can create the standalone application with the version number appended to the name of the application. For example, the application name can be myApplication_v1_0_5. This would allow multiple installations of various versions in the same system as well as have the version name in the application's shortcut.

I am sorry about the inconvenience that may cause.

Thanks for the answer. Even if it is not the desired one i will accept it for now.

Hope they will change it for the future.

Hannes,

On Matlab 2021b and you could change the version number from the App "SHARING DETAILS" you could also show the version number on the top left corner of your App by changing the UI Figure name through "IDENTIFIERS" section.
