[WiX-users] Is there a way to specify major version greater than 255?

Hi, I believe windows installer will not accept major version greater than 255. If we specify, we will encounter error like below: error CNDL0242: Invalid product version '2014.1.2.3'. Product version must have a major version less than 256, a minor version less than 256, and a build version less

Yes it's correct that the ProductVersion docs say the maximum major version is 255. Even if you make it larger in Orca you'll still get an ICE error if you run validation ICE24 ERROR ProductVersion: '2014.1.1' is an invalid version string.
