I believe, it's just too late to define product version at bind time. -- Yan

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] (no subject) I don't believe that is correct. Visual studio setup projects use 3 digits for the product version number and my #define only has 3 digits as the version number but that works. And regardless of that, I'd tried it with 4 digits and get the same error message so it doesn't work with 3 or 4.
