[ruby-core:32876] [Ruby 1.9-Bug#3912] Wrong version numer in windows installer file.

Issue #3912 has been updated by Luis Lavena.


Hello Yui,

I believe the OP refers to the resource file (.rc) that is attached to the DLL and executables. These lack the patchlevel information and it reports 1.8.7.0 for every single patchlevel released of 1.8.7

The same applies to 1.9.2

RubyInstaller decided to put in the resource information MAJOR.MINOR.BUILD.PATCHLEVEL as expected by these tools, but we didn't alter Ruby own resource file (.rc)

This only affects Windows executables and dlls. External tools cannot invoke "ruby -v" because these could not be the right ones, so the resource information is used to compare the authenticity of the executable
