You can't, assembly version numbers are stored as numbers by the OS, so leading

No idea how they did that. The second one isn't even a valid Windows file
version number. It must be a text string that comes from somewhere else,
although the Windows Installer property reference doesn't list any properties
for the version number.

the same situation with Orca, it has version 3.1.3790., and all zeroes

i decompiled Orca with dark.exe and can see that:

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.

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:
x.x.x.x
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?

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.. 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.

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.. 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.

The compiler core uses the Version class to validate version information; it parses the string down to their component integers, which loses the leading zeros. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Rob, This Fusion processing related to putting assemblies in GAC? What we are seeing is that the value of ProductVersion property is getting normalized, not assembly version.
