Where is Help2FileVersion defined?

I have inherited a help project, and in the footer, %%Help2FileVersion%% is used. Its value is incorrect currently, and I cannot find where it's defined in the project, or how to change it. If it is the value of the version of the .NET assembly the help documentation is for, it is not getting correctly updated. It should be 4.0 (the version of the assembly), but it is currently 4.5.

Also, the string does not show up in the CHM file (displays as "Documentation Version"), but it does show up in the VS2010 and VS2012 help viewer (displays as "Documentation Version 4.5").

  We have answered this through the support channel, but posting here for anyone reading:

  The Help2FileVersion can be set in the Build Profile editor for any profiles set to generate Help 2.x output. This property is specific to Help 2.x and isn't available / valid for other output types.

  Actually, Help2FileVersion was used for the Html Help 1.x as well (for Chm output). We may have used it incorrectly....

  Also, for anyone wondering how to find the 'Build Profile Editor', after opening your project, on the 'Project Quick Start' page, next to 'Output', select the build profile you want to edit, and click on the wrench icon to its right (with the hover text of 'More Help Compiler Options').
