Well, according to *the source*: - Version data type (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372488(VS.85).aspx):
"The Version data type is a text string containing a valid version string. A version string has the format: xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx where x is a digit." - ProductVersion property (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370859(VS.85).aspx): "The value of the ProductVersion property is the version of the product in string format. The format of the string is as follows: major.minor.build Note that Windows Installer uses only the first three fields of the product version. If you include a fourth field in your product version, the installer ignores the fourth field." Because MSDN does not say anything about stars in the version string, the question really is - why dark.exe puts them in the Version attribute?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX and Support Information in "Add or Remove Programs" panel question of the century :) the same situation with Orca, it has version 3.1.3790.0000, and all zeroes are shown in the support info. i decompiled Orca with dark.exe and can see that: <Product Id="{85F4CBCB-9BBC-4B50-A7D8-E1106771498D}" Language="1033" Manufacturer="Microsoft Corporation" Name="Orca" UpgradeCode="{1AA03E10-2B19-11D2-B2EA-006097C99860}" Version="*3.1.3790.0000 *"> so, if somebody knows the solution, please share it ;) On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 7:22 PM, Neil Enns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No idea how they did that.
