i have just completed a c# program version 1.0.0.0 and made an installer using the built-in visual studio set-up project. i have noticed that in add/remove programs the version is 1.0.0 which corresponds to the installer properties. It rather misleading for an end user and I don’t appear to be able to make the number 1.0.0.0 i.e. the same as my actual application as it is limited to 3 digits. Why the 2 different numbers?
thanks

As already mentioned the two are different things and you can set them independently of each other…
…by going to the project properties and clicking the Assembly Information button. In the case of my example the * in the third box means that the Assembly version build number increments each day.
