How to show product name + version like “My product 1.1.1.0” in Add/Remove Programs,
Where “My Product” is name of product in InstallShield and “1.1.1.0” Product Version?
Thanks.
By design, if you click the link “Click here for support information” it will show you the ProductVersion, Publisher and so on. I’ve always found it funny that Windows creates it one way and yet the whole world wants to take it another way including other groups at Microsoft. Personally I go with best practices and never put version information into my product name but if you want to do it, that’s what you’ll want to do.
ProductName: My Product 1.1.1
ProductVersion: 1.1.1.0
This is especially useful if you allow side by side installations of your product. I.E. change ProductCode and UpgradeCode and transform INSTALLDIR with each release:
C:\ProgramFiles\Company\Product\1.0
C:\ProgramFiles\Company\Product\2.0
