Description

For NetBeans 10vc2, Roy Henderson reports on the [e-mail] mailing list: "[i]f you hover the mouse over the netbeans or netbeans64 files in vc2/bin using Windows explorer then the file versions display as 9.0.0."

This is easy to fix, but requires a launcher rebuild. Simply change version="9.0.0.0" to version="10.0" in the "assemblyIdentity" element of the following files:

harness/apisupport.harness/windows-launcher-src/app.exe.manifest
nb/ide.launcher/windows/netbeans.exe.manifest
nb/ide.launcher/windows/netbeans64.exe.manifest
platform/o.n.bootstrap/launcher/windows/nbexec.exe.manifest

If there's a documented process for producing new NetBeans releases somewhere, this should be added as a TODO that needs to be done for every new release.
