[wix-users] 11 files not being installed with our Enterprise installer... [P]

If the File table shows null in the Version column for those files,
then the files themselves do not have file versions! They'll need to
be rebuilt with proper versioning.

You should be able to manually confirm those files do not have a file
version by checking the file's Properties in Windows Explorer. Check
the Details tab.
