Reminds me from "There's something about Mary". Once you guys will fix it I will be able to give my users only 3 zeros in the product version instead of 4 in my competitor's product version. :-)

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX and Support Information in "Add or Remove Programs" panel Understood. We just standardized on the "Version" class for all versions everywhere since that was supposed to always get the right thing. This is honestly, the first time in 9 years that I've ever had anyone ask to keep the insignificant zeros. <smile/> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alexander Shevchuk Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 17:10 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

What we are seeing is that the value of ProductVersion property is getting normalized, not assembly version.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX and Support Information in "Add or Remove Programs" panel Yes, the version gets normalized down to numbers without extra zeroes. There are bugs in the Fusion processing of version where they incorrectly treat versions as strings and it was found that removing insignificant zeroes from a version string would avoid them. At least, that's what my memory is telling me. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alexander Shevchuk Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 11:05 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX and Support Information in "Add or Remove Programs" panel I see what you mean. I just did a quick test with product version set to 001.000.000.0000. When I opened msi with Orca, ProductVersion is set to 1.0.0.0. If I manually change the product version back to what I have in the WiX file than I can see all zeros in the ARP. So, it seems like it is WiX's problem. It changes ProductVersion by removing leading zeros.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX and Support Information in "Add or Remove Programs" panel Thank you Alex, dark doesn't insert asterisks in the version. it's incorrect formatting, i wanted simply highlight version with bold in my email client, but here http://www.nabble.com/WiX-and-Support-Information-in-%22Add-or-Remove-Programs%22-panel-td17985802.htmli see version between stars. so do not pay attention on these asterisks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
