Version info in Support Information

Post by Alwin van Driel »

In add/remove programs you will see your app once installed. If you press "click here for support information" you will see some details of the installation as set in your project. However a lot of apps have beside publisher, contact etc. also a tag with the version information. Is this also possible in installaware?
