Unable to set the Version Information for Self Extractor in IExpress

Actually, trying to set a Version Info, for self extractor created through IExpress. After searching I got the following LINK, whereas, it does not recognize the values from Version Section, default values from Wextract.exe are being published every time. Seems to be IExpress ignoring the [VersionSection]. I tried the following in the SED File.

[Options]
VersionInfo=VersionSection;
[VersionSection]
FromFile=MYApp.MSI;

Please help me to resolve the issue. Thanks in advance.

First, you need to remove those semicolons.

Second, the FromFile needs to have the right type of version information. MSI files don't seem to have this information. When you view a file's properties there should be a Version tab if the file has version information. (You can see easily enough that MSI files lack this tab, and thus that version information.)

A working example:

[Options]
VersionInfo=VersionSection
[VersionSection]
FromFile=notepad.exe

For those curious, iexpress.exe reads the version information from the FromFile using the GetFileVersionInfo API. There's a great worked example here on Stack Overflow.
