Summary0022497: MediaMonkey version info fools WinGet
DescriptionAs reported here: https://www.edtittel.com/blog/mediamonkey-version-info-fools-winget.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com
and also ticket [Ticket # 18805] Update issue

The problem is:
Version information Value
Windows registry DisplayVersion 2024
Winget available version 2024.2.2.3222
Result Winget repeatedly offers the same upgrade

Even after a successful installation, winget may continue to report that an upgrade is available.

Recommended fix for MediaMonkey developers
Set the Inno Setup AppVersion to the full version number:
AppVersion=2024.2.2.3222

And retain the friendly product name separately:
AppVerName=MediaMonkey 2024

Check the generated uninstall registry entry to confirm that DisplayVersion contains the full version.

This is worth fixing in MediaMonkey's installer, because it affects automatic updates through winget and other software-management tools.
