How to insert a file version into an MSI file using Visual Studio?

I have an installation project for my C # program, and this installation project has a version in its properties. I would like the MSI file that was generated to include this Version in it, so I can hover over it in Explorer and see what version of this file is.

I am using VS2008. How can i do this?

If you simply add the text “Version: 1.5.0” to the “Description” property of the installation project, the version number is also displayed in the MSI file as follows:
