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.
