  Microsoft Answers seems to be Office-related and it didn't provide any info about the problem. So I'm still looking for a place to raise this question.

  Best regardes, sborum

  Sounds like a programming question to me.

  Perhaps the Visual Studio Tools for Office or the MSBuild forums would be of benefit?

  Windows Installer uses only the first three fields of the product version. The installer ignores the fourth field. I suggest you to have a help->about feature or readme.txt where the customer can copy the build number off your software.
