.NET Application version display

Question

I'm using TeamCity as a CI tool.

In "Build Step" section I added an AssemblyInfo patcher build feature which updates assemblies version during build. A setup project builds for me an install for my application. After application install - assemblies have correct version.

But when I go to "Programs and Features" - for my application is displayed a totally different version value.

Could You tell me how to manage the version displayed in "Programs and Features"?

That version is set by installer tool. Are you using WIX, InstallShield or something like that? — oleksii, Sep 24 '13 at 08:48
I'm using the standard setup project from Visual Studio (Visual Studio 2010) — DreadAngel, Sep 24 '13 at 08:52

Version displayed in Programs and Features is not the exe version. It is the setup version.

To change that you've t modify the setup version.

Programs and Features displays the Installer version. To change the version

Select the Installer project
Select Properties tab (Don't right click and go to property)
You will find the Version property at the end with the default version is 1.0.0

If you go to your Visual Studio setup project. Press F4 to get the properties (not exactly sure its F4, @AccessDenied says it's TAB). Locate the Version property in there.

See couple of other relevant answers for some additional info:
