Wix: setting the version of the installer -

i trying set version of installer create using wix toolkit in below code:

<product id="*" upgradecode="..." name="app name" version="!(bind.fileversion.myapplicationversion)" <directory id="targetdir" name="sourcedir"> <directory id="programfilesfolder"> <directory id="installdir" name="companyname"> <directory id="subdir" name="application name"> <component id="applicationfiles" guid="*"> <file id="myapplicationversion" name="app.exe" id="applicationfile1" source="app.exe" vital="yes" /> </component> </directory> </directory> </directory>

this builds ok see version number not updated in add/remove panel. have read 1 see in panel display version , nil display version. question is, purpose of having 2 different versions (display version , product version)?

and of course, how can verify set product version correctly? have checked debug logs it's nowhere. wondering if above bode works ok or not.

the 3rd question is, of course, how can set display version? know can changed in registry looking way alter in wxs file.

thanks.

that scenario works me, long .exe file has legal product version (<255.255.65535.65535).

what mean "updated"? clean install or upgrade? what's version in app.exe? what, if anything, shows in arp version column? shows in uninstall key in registry?
