Yes, that's going to be a problem. There are ways to mitigate it but is there any chance they can fix this? What tool are they using to make the EXE?

Sorry to ask such naive (and honestly, non-WiX) questions, but... when installing from an MSI, Windows Installer makes decisions on EXE files based on the file version resource in the file, right? I have a vendor releasing software to me where they've set the Product version in their EXE and intend to increment it as versions change, but they have set the File version to 0.0.0.0 and don't intend to ever change it. I have no idea why they think this is sensible behavior, but it's what they intend to do. I get the joy of packaging their stuff into MSI, so I'm hoping someone can tell me if this is going to be a problem when upgrading. Thanks!
