Hello everyone, is it possible to use the DefaultVersion attribute for unversioned files? I ship PNG files as part of my install. I always want the PNG files that come with my installer to copy over the PNG files of an older version of my product, even if the user has modified them or replaced them with his own files. So I thought, I could give the PNG files in my WiX source code the DefaultVersion attribute and increment their version number with each new version of my product. However, if I add the DefaultVersion attribute to one of my PNG files, I get the following linker error:
error LGHT1103: The DefaultVersion '1.2.3' was used for file 'AbcPng' which has no version. No entry for this file will be placed in the MsiFileHash table. For unversioned files, specifying a version that is different from the actual file may result in unexpected versioning behavior during a repair or while patching. Version the resource to eliminate this warning. So what am I doing wrong? I read that people use the DefaultVersion attribute for text files, so this must work somehow. What am I missing? Or does the DefaultVersion attribute only work for Windows PE files that contain a version info resource in order to achieve version lying?
