Build failure using Team City

Hi guys, I've been pestering support no end over the last few days with installation and configuration issues with DLM Automation and Team City. Issues aside, I'm now having a build failure and am struggling to find the right documentation to guide me through this. Figured I'd give support some time off as this doesn't appear to be a bug, more a problem with how I've configured things.

I'm using DLM Automation (the latest update!) and Team City to build a database, source controlled in TFS. The database is source controlled using Redgate Source control. I've created a build, it has a trigger watching the database folder and I have a configured a build step using "Redgate DLM Automation Build". This is set up with basic settings;

Database folder = Database folder is my build VCS root
Package ID = LendingTrunkLatest
Server = SQL LocalDB (recommended)

Nothing else is configured (not that there is much else to configure on this page).

The build is failing with the following error;
C:TeamCityuildAgentpluginsdlmautomation-teamcity-agentDLMAutomationRunner.ps1 : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'PackageVersion'. '16' is not in a valid NuGet version format (eg 3.2.1, 3.2.1-beta1).
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,DLMAutomationRunner.ps1
Process exited with code 1

I've assessed the build, the parameters generated for the build and the artifacts. I know that the number 16 is the build.counter and build.number parameter (Yes! 16 attempts to get this damn thing to build! :D) and that it would seem that it wants something else passed to it instead. The problem is I can't seem to find where I would configure this?

This document alludes to configuring build properties but this is associated with database projects;

    Hi,

    The version number needs to be in a NuGet-compatible format and it looks like yours may not be. I think in the past we may have padded it out automatically.

    You need to change the Build Number Format in your Build Configuration settings (to something like 1.0.%build.counter% perhaps). You should find the Build Number Format setting on the "General Settings" tab.

    Expands "advanced options", whoops with joy.


    Annoyed with myself that I hadn't checked advanced settings earlier :(

    Does this mean the build is no longer failing?

    I am getting the same error and my Build Counter is correct. I have another build that works. I have copied the settings as is yet the new one does not work?
