[WiX-users] upgrade and 3 field version numbers

Hi, I ran in some issue with upgrades, and when I checked the logs, I found that the version numbers were 4 fields ( 1.0.0.1 ). MSDN tells me that it will ignore the 4th part, so I have changed my version to 1.0.1, which works. The problem is I show my product version (in about box) based o

[WiX-users] Subclassing WIX dialogs
