Hi. This is working as expected. Basically, the Windows Installer database supports only X.Y.Z version numbers with 32 bits among all three parts. This is too small to hold Chrome version numbers with perfect fidelity. We compress our version numbers into ones compatible with Windows Installer (see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=67348#c62) and then try to fix up the pretty-printed version numbers shown in the control panel post-install. |
