OK, the file version and Assembly version are all OK.

Windows Installer sets Creation Date to be the same as Modify Date for files it installs. It's not a WiX thing, it's Windows. With binary files the expectation is that File Version is what identifies it, not a date. It's a bit more complicated in the GAC because assembly identity is more than just file name and version. Why is the date of a file so important compared to File Version or Assembly Version to identify a particular incarnation of a binary?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] timestamp of dlls is not right in wix installation Thanks for replying. Both Creation time and Modification time of the dlls show the installation date instead of package/build time.

The timestamp of dlls show the installation date instead of package/build date, which will cause the future problems of our product.
