To get the version to appear for a .NET DLL, I tried adding this to the indexing clause of the project's root class: assembly_metadata: create {ASSEMBLY_FILE_VERSION_ATTRIBUTE}.make ("1.4.1.444") end According to Reflector, the attribute is in there: [assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.4.1.444")] But I still don't get a Version tab in Windows Explorer.
