Word 2000 PIA version numbers

[David Thielen]

Hi;

I built the Word 2000 PIAs and they work fine. But their version numbers
strike me as being weird.

Office 2.1.0.0
Vbe 5.3.0.0
Word 8.1.0.0

Is this correct or do I need to do something to the PIAs to make Office/Word
9.x and Vbe 6.x?

ps - once I get the version number issue settled, I will post the PIAs and
the bat file to build them on my web site for others that need them.

thanks - dave

Hi

The version number is correct based on their typelibrary version, you may
use the oleview tool to look into the three type
libraries(msword9.olb,mso.dll,VBE6EXT.OLB).

But if you wants to change the version of the PIA, I think you may try to
take a look at the /asmversion:versionNumber switch of tlbimp.

Specifies the version number of the assembly to produce. Specify
versionNumber in the format major.minor.build.revision.

Hope this helps.

Hi;

You are right. This is so weird as looking at the dll version properties it
is 9.x for the word & office olb/dll and 6.x for the vbe olb - which makes a
lot more sense. I'm going to use asmversion to set it to those values as they
make a lot more sense.
