You can set the value displayed in the "Product Version" info using the AssemblyInformationalVersion attribute. Set this in your Assembly.cs file like this:

[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("1.2.3.4")]
From the Microsoft documentation:

Note: If the AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute attribute is not applied to an assembly, the version number specified by the
AssemblyVersionAttribute attribute is used by the Application.ProductVersion, Application.UserAppDataPath, and Application.UserAppDataRegistry properties.
