559247 - [Windows] Installer '.exe' file 'Version' data should be fixed, SeaMonkey part

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Serge Gautherie (:sgautherie)]

Spun off from bug 50522:

It should be possible to right-click on the win32 setup EXE file select 
Properties -> Version and see stuff like Copyright, Version, date, etc...

SeaMonkey example, but true for all products:

<seamonkey-2.0a1pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe>
has (an empty Summary tab and),
its Version tab reports:
{{
Version        : 4.42.0.0
Description    : SeaMonkey
Copyright      : Mozilla

Language       : English (U-S)
Company        : Mozilla
Filename       : 7zS.sfx.exe
Product        : SeaMonkey
Internal name  : 7zS.sfx
Product version: 4.42
}}
which is a "mix" of 7-Zip and SeaMonkey :-/

That is the 7-Zip self-extracting archive that is actually in comm-central in other-licenses/7zstub/seamonkey. Each app maintains their own and though it is used to ship the NSIS installer it isn't controlled by NSIS. You can fix this using reshack to update the properties and since no one has asked for this for Firefox I am not going to spend anytime trying to make this dynamic for Firefox but we'd likely take any fix SeaMonkey comes up with if someone makes it dynamic. Since this isn't an NSIS bug could you please move it over to the proper SeaMonkey component?

Moving over to SeaMonket -> Installer since that is the closest component for modifying SeaMonkey's 7-Zip stub.
