how to use appveyor with .NET 4.8

[stax76]

I would like appveyor to make a build everytime a github commit has happened. First problem is getting a build error, in VS it builds fine.

It seems that .net 4.8 support will be added soon https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/2924
Use the manual install script for now.

I simply went back to 4.7 and it builds now, new problem is it's not taking the version defined in AssemblyInfo.vb

edit:

For me it's ok to wait for official support and use 4.7 meanwhile.

I think for now I give up trying to make this appveyor thing work.

It seems you need to explicitly set the version:

I'm not sure the thing is useful for a project like staxrip, maybe if you know what it can do and how it works. Don't look interesting to me or maybe I'm just not ready for it.
