Nightly build for VB.NET program, Versioning

Question

I currently have a nightly build system running as a windows scheduled task, calling at batch file, that works sort of like this:

Check out the latest revision from subversion
Modify the AssemblyInfo.vb file of the main executable and the librarys to set the version number to 0.0.0.revision
Invoke MSBuild to build everything (including the installer)
Upload the installer and a log of the build to an FTP server

This works ok, but step 2 is dirty and fragile, and I can't imagine that this the only way to do what I want. Any ideas?

There are a couple of ways to deal with this. You may want to check this post or others tagged with svn (and containing "AssemblyInfo").
