title: Managed C++: How do I get my unmanaged verison number to match my assembly version number
body: <p>I have a managed c++ project.</p>
  
  <p>How do I make the version information of the DLL (as seen in explorer and used by installers) match the version information generated in the Assembly Version atttribute?</p>
  
  <p>AssemblyInfo.cpp:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[assembly:AssemblyVersion("5.1.*")];
  </code></pre>
