Should MSI files from different versions for one product named identically

I have 2 msi files. First for version 1.0.0.120 and second for version 1.2.0.321

should I named them as product.1.0.0.120.msi product.1.2.0.321.msi

so when user/admin download the product they exactly know about the version and choose the correct project or I should keep the name <> to make easy the upgrade for MSI engine?

It doesn't really matter. But some unwritten conventions are:

  • like Mr. Disappointment mentioned, the word "setup" should be in the name, for example "Product Name Setup"
  • for often releases (at least once a month) your setup name shouldn't contain the product version
  • for rare release (once every 6 months) your setup name should contain the product version

In the end it's up to you. For your users it doesn't really matter.
