win32 resource strings: wrong version?

In using the TclApp GUI, I have changed the win32 string
resources to
reflect the version number of my app. In my case I'm setting
it to
2.0.0. After building the app, if I right-click on the .exe
and view
properties, then click on the Version tab, the first thing I
see is
"File version: 8.5.2.0".

In the "Other version information" section I see
that "File Version"
(capital V, if that makes a difference) is set to the
correct value of
2.0.0, as is "Product Version". I'm a bit ignorant
of these win32
resources, but I would prefer that all three numbers match
up.

Is this a known bug in TclApp? Is there a workaround?

Thanks!

The short is that this is a known limitation. The package we
use
(stringfileinfo, http://wiki.tcl.tk/8949)
accesses only one of the two
resource blocks Win32 apps have.
