Have cmake check version at install time

I have a cmake script that add a "add_custom_command" that generate a program version anytime the program is compiled. That creates a Header File. It works fine...

Now, what I want to do is to have cmake use value from said file during installation and packaging. Parsing the file is of no worry. What I don't know is how do I ask cmake to parse it just before installing, since it would have been modified during the compilation.

You should check out some of the capabilities of the INSTALL command

INSTALL(CODE "CMAKE_CODE_THAT_PARSES_FILE")

or

INSTALL(SCRIPT CMAKE_Parsing_Script.cmake)

These will be executed at install time.
