Hi I created as sample C++ CLI project in VS. By default it has many assembly attributes like company, product etc. On Windows7 or Vista, when I right click on the assembly and go to the Details tab, the assembly is missing some of the attributes that I added.

Any Idea why it is so?

Which attributes are missing? The Windows Explorer properties dialog only supports a subset of the .NET assembly version attributes.

Windows 7 file system is different from Windows XP (I don't know about Vista). In particular, under Windows XP, you could append Summary information to any file (Title/Subject/Author/Category/Keywords/Comments), but not under Windows 7. If you copy such a file to Windows 7, this information is just thrown away. Many users have complained about this.
