Hi all,

How to change the file version, product name in the exe that is created using Visual Studio Installer 2015???

What I have tried:

I have created a setup file using Visual Studio 2015, on right clicking the setup file, I see

Product Name is empty, which is supposed to me my product name
Product Version is Visual Studio's Version, i.e., 14.0, which is supposed to be 2.0
Copyright is Microsoft, which is supposed to be my company.

Even after changing the properties by clicking F4 on Setup solution file.

Please help me in this regard.
Thank you.

What happen after changing the properties of "Setup Project"?

Its still the same, its showing Visual Studios Properties.
Not my product details.

to get the "Setup Project" properties:-
select setup project and press F4, then the properties windows will appeared..
in the properties windows you can find all the properties like Product name,version etc..

We cannot guess what you are doing wrong as it works correctly when used correctly.

Try with a new project.

Solution 2

First of all:-
Did you Change the "Product Name", Version and etc in the "properties windows"?
If you did that, then Rebuild your project(Right-Click on setup Project, click on "Rebuild")...

Update Solutions...
If You want to change the "Application EXE" file details then:-
Right-Click on the Project name in the Solution Explorer --> then Click on Properties --> click on Application tab from left side --> then click on Assembly Information... button..
Now you can find all the properties for your Assembly...

I hope this will works...

Yes, this is the one, I have done initially on creating Setup.
These changes do not apply on the exe, when you right click and see the details.

I have told this on my post in the last line too.
Please try this and give me a solution.
