Updating version number in Add/Remove programs window


There are several properties under [Setup] that control version numbers:

VersionInfoVersion=VersionInfoTextVersion=AppVersion=

The field important for the question is AppVersion directive, which InnoSetup writes into the DisplayVersion registry key.

A complete sample can be found here.


Check this section

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

You can choose your application by GUID of it and you can manipulate its datathere are DisplayVersion key to show the version and an actual version key for other than display usages , and there is a size field that you can add your program size there


It's the 'DisplayVersion' value in this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ApplicationName

'ApplicationName' being replaced with your actual Application Name obviously

ApplicationName may also be a GUID instead, if you didn't configure one.

Inno-Setup should have the ability to change this.
