FB: Version 6.3.0.1712
InstallShield 2010 Action | Properties | Override Parameters
Override Parameters tab on InstallShield 2010 Project action allows for setting 4 version settings from a property set, however, Microsoft Intaller only supports 3 version numbers (even though 4 can be specified, MSI won't use more than 3)
Specified as: (My Example values: Maj: 4 Min: 5 Rel/Rev: 0 Build 730)
Use Major, Minor, Build & Release/Revision Version Numbers or
Use Major, Minor, Release/Revion & Build Version Numbers (expected: 4.5.0.730) -- (received 4.5.730.0)
(This seems to indicate only 3 will be used, but in fact 4 are placed in the install for "ProductVersion")
Previous versions of InstallShield actions (2008, 2009) limited the property set to 3 numbers.
Specified as:
Use Major, Minor & Build Version Numbers or
Use Major, Minor & Release/Revision Version Numbers
So, when updating the version on our product with IS2009 action, version numbers (in add/remove programs) would show as 4.5.730 now show as 4.5.730.0 (with IS2010 action) but file versions show as 4.5.0.730 - we can't use the first option to use 4.5.0.730 because MSI will only "see' 4.5.0 for the version - which will cause upgrade issues.
Also, I chose to use the format specified by "Use Major, Minor, Release/Revion & Build Version Numbers" - but, as shown above, the BUILD number is 730 - which is being placed before Release/Revision (of 0) in the version number - so, these appear to also be backwards as far as formatting according to the user interface.
Issue #1: 4 build numbers instead of 3 (which is max supported by MSI)
Issue #2: Incorrect formatting of the numbers between UI and actual product update for version number

Hi Kent
IS 2010 allows 4 values, however MSI ignores the 4th value. The issue #2 you found is a bug, I have changed the behavior to match the UI :

So, are you saying that issue #1 is not a bug?
Maybe the documentation can clairify things a bit?
Maybe there is a workaround, or should this be a feature? - e.g. Another radio button to only use 3 version numbers (and leave the radio buttons for 4 version numbers if others want to try and use that?)

Hi Kent
The ability to specify a fourth number was added at the request of an FB/IS2010 user, after he quoted the same text from the help file.
