Our packaging factory build MSI packages with specific naming conventions, so for best practices sake we add (most of the time :) ) them with the same name :

Since we can't have duplicate application names, sometimes I will include the version in the application title, but not in the application catalog localized application name.

Attached is a taste of what I do. * I fill in Publisher (which, strangely, is "Manufacturer" when looking at a list of Applications in the console). * I include the Application name and version in the Name field, with a few exceptions. I *don't* include the version number in the Application Catalog Localized application name. * I put the version in the Version field. Java is a funny one. I use, for example, "Java 8 Update 25" for the name and "8.0.250" (the version in the MSI) for the version. William
