[issue31103] Windows Installer Product Version 3.6.2150.0 Offset By 0.0.150.0

2017-08-04 Thread Markus Kramer 

Markus Kramer added the comment:

Steve, yes: from my point of view, the version in "Programs and Features" 
should be  3.6.2 or 3.6.2.0 or 3.6.2.150. 


Eryk, thank you for your explanation - I had a wrong memory about the third 
field in ProductVersion to be the micro version and learned something. 


If that would be helpful, I could change the title of this issue.

[issue31103] Windows Installer Product Version 3.6.2150.0 Offset By 0.0.150.0

2017-08-02 Thread Markus Kramer 

New submission from Markus Kramer:

Each Windows installation has a “product version”.

The Windows installer python-3.6.2.exe has product version "3.6.2150.0"  
(accessible with context menu / Properties / Details).

This causes at least 2 problems:
 - Automated software inventory relies on product version and therefore does 
not detect version 3.6.2
 - Microsoft installation guidelines require the first three fields to be 
smaller than 256.

Proposed alternatives for the value of product version:
- "3.6.2.0" to indicate the final release build.
- "3.6.2.150" to indicate the build number. The build number may be higher than 
256, but this is unusual for a final release.
