Versioning is built into certain files like DLLs and EXEs and not into other files like XML and text files. That much has nothing to do with WiX or MSI. Files are either versioned or they aren't. MSI simply reflects those versions, by default.

Subject: [WiX-users] need pointers to docs on file-versioning Hi, I just had a couple simple questions, and looking through both the WiX book and various Google searches hasn't helped. * In WiX, how does one indicate that a given file is to be unversioned? * In WiX, how does one indicate that a given file is versioned? I see the 'DefaultVersion' property, but am not sure to what that applies (what's 'default' about this value?) * Do all the files in an installation have to be at the same version? If not, how does one distinguish? Conversely, if not, do I have to then specify the version for every file, or is this inherited somehow from the ProductVersion setting? Any quick pointers to docs or discussions or anything else that actually describes how to specify versioned vs unversioned files would be helpful. Everything I've found so far describes how versioned vs unversioned are updated during upgrades/patches, but not how to specify versioned/unversioned in the first place. Thanks!
