Currently,the complete release number (e.g. 1.7.04) is not found within a core hive installation once it is complete. I am also not finding it in the manifest of the zip files, but only in the name of the zip files.

This information seems to only be header comments of webclient/default.htm. However, that file is not necessarily on the same machine as the hive.

Files like OntologyApplicationContext.xml have an applicationVersion property, but the value in release 1.7.04 is 1.701.

I would find it helpful for various scripting and debugging to have the same release number that was used to create the installation zip files available somewhere in the hive installation, even if it is not used by the application.
