tlbimp.exe does allow you to set the assembly version using the /asmversion
option which also sets the file version. Note that it's the file version
that matters, though - not the assembly or product version. During link, you
won't need to pass -fv to light.exe since the assembly version changes. Ship
a publisher policy assembly in the GAC to automatically update bindings to
the new version as documented in the .NET Framework SDK at
