Details tab of setup built as MSI has no version

Running InstallAware X13 Build 12.23.2020.

If I build a project as an .exe, when I right click on the setup, select properties and go to the Details tab, the product version number is displayed.

If the same project is built as an .msi, there is no product version number on the properties tab.

Is there a way of getting the product version on the properties tab of a .msi?

This doesn't depend on InstallAware.

Unfortunately, by design, MSI doesn't supply a version field with its file properties. The only option is to include the version with the "comment" or 'title' fields.

Hope this helps you.
