The existing description is correct: This is Inno Setup's setup program. Setup (with a capital "S") is the name for the installer program and this is consistent throughout the documentation.
 
- File Version
Now is set 0.0.0.0
Please consdier to setup as Version at 4 digits (6.4.3.0)

If you want to know the version of Inno Setup that this particular installer will install, you can get the ProductVersion property.

The fact that it's truncated in the GUI dialog you're looking at does not mean the text isn't all there:

As an aside: You might want to consider changing your forum moniker. I would guess that the IS authors aren't likely to make changes requested by malware authors.

The most of users check file properties not awiuth Powershell but with standard exe file -> right click -> Properties-> Details

I didn't udnerstand the emaing of "You might want to consider changing your forum moniker. I would guess that the IS authors aren't likely to make changes requested by malware authors.".

Thanks.

You don't know that "bovirus" includes the mostly negative term "virus"? Now you know. :)
