And again -- tiny update
PC reported that the About box was showing two versions on Win98 and WinME, the old 1.7.2.6 version and the new 1.8.0.0. On investigation, I found the application options "Product version" setting was set to the old version; however, I don't use this information when creating the About box, so I suspect that Win9x is incorrectly reading the product version info from the executable. Since the problem doesn't show up on Win2000+, and we don't officially support Win9x, I've just made a silent change of the Product Version to "1.8" (which is what it should be, rather than the full dotted version, which is stored in a different place). Waiting to see if that makes a difference. What seems to be happening is this:
In my app, I output a string between the copyright info and the link, based on the "Comments" field in the executable version info. In IMT, there is no comments field, so there's nothing to output; on Win2000 and above, nothing appears there at all (in fact there isn't even an empty line). However, on Win9x, it seems that if there's no Comments field, Windows just reads the Product Version field instead. I think that's where the information is coming from.
