Ok, tell me I've got this wrong, but as far as I know there's a Powershell download to redistribute this, so I don't know what's going with non-Microsoft redists. In addition, it gets installed in the GAC (at least from Windows 7 on), which makes file version somewhat less important - I believe any multiple versions are side by side in the GAC, and last I looked there was a policy.1.0 file to redirect to updated versions in the GAC. Is this just an issue with old Powershell or something?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] What to do with an Assembly that doesn't have anAssemblyFileVersion Can I mitigate the effect on Repair by enabling checksums and having the install forcibly verify them? I'm sure my managers will be trigger their Microsoft support contracts, but I have to deal with it. Installing in a different location will require significant code changes as this thing hangs out in one of the AppPools of two of our major products. I suppose we could create a local name for the SAM, strong name link against that, and do the renaming game. -- john M.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] What to do with an Assembly that doesn't have an AssemblyFileVersion Wow, that's beginner mistake. Get them to fix the file version or rename the file. Or you can install to a new location (which essentially renames the file). DefaultVersion basic lies to the Windows Installer and it will never be certain the file that is on disk is the right one (because the one on disk will have no version...). It'll work in upgrade, repair and such may prompt for source a lot more. Wow, bad form.
