title: "File version" in Windows properties value is FILEVERSION not "FileVersion"
body: <p>So Product Management have decreed that our software should have version numbers with 3 sets of digits rather than the usual 4 (e.g. 1.2.3 rather than 1.2.3.4)</p>
  
  <p>This is easily accomplished in the "About" dialogs and elsewhere in UI, but I'm having issues with Windows properties.</p>
  
  <p>When I change the values in VERSIONINFO block to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FILEVERSION 1,2,3
  PRODUCTVERSION 1,2,3
  
  VALUE "FileVersion", "1.2.3"
  VALUE "ProductVersion", "1.2.3"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I end up with the following in Windows 7's Properties > Details tab for the exe:</p>
  
  <p>File version: 1.2.3.0
  Product version: 1.2.3</p>
  
  <p>Changing the values to all be different indicates that "File version" is taken from FILEVERSION and so always formatted as a 4-digit group value, but "Product version" is taken from "ProductVersion". </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to specify that "File version" should be taken from the "FileVersion" string value? If I remove the FILEVERSION block I just end up with a "File version" of 0.0.0.0.</p>
  
  <p>I have reproduced this behaviour in VS2010 by creating an empty Win32 console application, then adding a default version resource:</p>
  
  <pre><code>VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
   FILEVERSION 1,0,1
   PRODUCTVERSION 1,0,2
   FILEFLAGSMASK 0x3fL
  #ifdef _DEBUG
   FILEFLAGS 0x1L
  #else
   FILEFLAGS 0x0L
  #endif
   FILEOS 0x40004L
   FILETYPE 0x1L
   FILESUBTYPE 0x0L
  BEGIN
      BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
      BEGIN
          BLOCK "080904b0"
          BEGIN
              VALUE "CompanyName", "TODO: &lt;Company name&gt;"
              VALUE "FileDescription", "TODO: &lt;File description&gt;"
              VALUE "FileVersion", "1.0.3"
              VALUE "InternalName", "VersionT.exe"
              VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Copyright (C) 2012"
              VALUE "OriginalFilename", "VersionT.exe"
              VALUE "ProductName", "TODO: &lt;Product name&gt;"
              VALUE "ProductVersion", "1.0.4"
          END
      END
      BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
      BEGIN
          VALUE "Translation", 0x809, 1200
      END
  END
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Resulting in the same issue:

  <p>This image may come out small, so I'll just confirm that it says
  File version    1.0.1.0
  Product version 1.0.4</p>
  
  <p>Before I tell Product Management that this is the best we can do, is there any way to get Windows to show the "FileVersion" string value instead? I've read through the VERSIONINFO documentation on MSDN, and can't see any flags that I can set to do this.</p>
