No product info showing in properties page
I'm trying to add product information to my installers, using VIProductVersion and VIAddVersionKey.
For some reason though, whenever I use Windows Explorer Properties page for the executable created, the Version tab is completely empty.

I've tried both with a /LANG=${LANG_ENGLISH} and without /LANG at all, but in neither case did I get anything in the Version tab.

If I hover the mouse over the file, the yellow rectangle showing file information appears with the info in it though...
So why there and not in the Version tab?

BTW, the Version tab is empty, whatever computer I'm using to look at the file information...

I'm using NSIS 2.17

I really don't get this.
If I compile the VersionApp.nsi script from the NSIS examples directory, it works, I can see version info using Explorer.

My installer on the other hand doesn't show anything in the version tab, even if I put the exact same code to define the version info as in VersionApp.nsi...

The difference? Beats me. My installers are obviously a lot more complex, make use of MUI, etc. but the VIAddVersionKey are the same, and are executed every time without warning message...

Ah, found it finally!
There was actually a warning message, but Eclipse didn't color it correcly so I missed it...

It looks like the "FileVersion" Version Key has to be defined for anything to appear in the Version Tab...
