So make + sure you have version resource correctly set.<br> + You can use script to set version info into Merge.rc and all language.rc files: + just run <code>Src/SetResourceVersions.bat</code> - it asks version number to set. + Note that it needs four numbers, so if you are releasing 2.5.6 version, you need to + set last number as zero: 2.5.6.0. + </li> + <li> + Installer checks that files listed are present.
