Since LabVIEW (2011?) has pre and post build VIs we can have hooks into the build process.
Has anyone managed to sent a message to the build dialog? I have digged a little in the resource\framework\providers\builds folder but nothing stands out (there is a AB_UI_reply_framework_message VI_, however that needs an unknown queue ref.

PS the builder says during the post build VI that it's saving the last VI

What are you trying to accomplish, exactly? I have used prebuild and post build actions to add versioning to unversioned things (like web services) and to modify the installer dialog message so it reflects the version of the EXE it will be installing.

I'm doing this for a source distribution and I try to do the following things:

• Clean the target path
  
• Relink MNU files
  
• set the version of classes and libraries
  
• make a Mercurial commit
