invalid VIProductVersion?

I'm new to using the PA Installer, but I get this error when using it:

Processed 1 file, writing output:
Adding plug-ins initializing function... Done!
Error: invalid VIProductVersion format, should be X.X.X.X
Error - aborting creation process

Could someone please give me a clue as to what to look for? I did a search and saw this happening 3 years ago but I'm not able to ascertain what the problem is.

I'm on Win 7 x64 using the installer at

Thanks

PackageVersion

You've got a bad PackageVersion in App\AppInfo\appinfo.ini. It should be an X.X.X.X version number.

To clarify, you need 4

To clarify, you need 4 integers separated by 4 dots. If the current version of the software you're packaging doesn't have 4 integers, you add zeros.

For example, Firefox 4 would be 4.0.0.0
