Why am I not able to see the properties of the standalone executable even if I filled them in Application Compiler GUI?

I have created an standalone application. During the compilation, I filled in all the application information such as  'Application Name','Author Name', 'Email', 'Company', 'Version','Summary' and 'Description'.

However, I am not able to see this information when I right click on the generated executable and go to details tab. Why is it so?

The application information such as 'Author Name', 'Email', 'Company', 'Version' etc appears on the first page of the installer on Windows systems. This information is also displayed in the Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel. For more information, please refer to the section 'Add Application Information' in below MATLAB documentaiton page.

However, this information, except for Version info, is not shown in details tab of the properties window for that executable on Windows. 

Generating system-level file versioning on Windows systems for files created using deployment apps has been supported since r2019b.

For details, please see the following release notes.
