I found why: when wix updates the bootstraper resource versioninfo, for strings, the "wType" is not set correctly, wType is 0 instead of 1. see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646987(v=vs.85).aspx Modifying with an hexadecimal editor the wType from 0 to 1 makes the string appear correctly in ProcessExplorer and I guess in some other softwares/places in Windows. Can someone confirm this?
