Taking a look at the installer pipeline

Temporarily resolved by resetting the O3DE_VERSION and O3DE_BUILD_VERSION environment variables and rebuilding. This PR will more permanently solve the issue: https://github.com/o3de/o3de/pull/12017

The same issue occurs in build Stabilization/2210 (840e1f4)

• Splash screen when launching the project.
• Project manager.

@LB-KacperSzczepanski https://github.com/o3de/o3de/pull/12017 has been merged and I've noted that the installer is now displaying the 22.10.0 version number and the Editor is displaying 2210. Can you verify that this is the case?

[LB-HubertUberman]

@amzn-changml Verified that Engine is now displaying the 22.10.0 version on latest Stabilization/2210 installer. Also the issue still occurs in build Stabilization/2210 (https://github.com/o3de/o3de/commit/1a540addf51410165f5e05fab275d3ccc9579ace).

@LB-HubertUberman There is an environmental variable used on build to define the version (as we don't pin the version directly with the git tag nor hardcode the version in the engine.json file per branch), so building stabilization alone without it will not result in a version number. Here's what you'll need to do for testing it:

In Windows:

set O3DE_VERSION=22.10.0
set O3DE_BUILD_VERSION=2210.0

<Run the build>

In Ubuntu:

export O3DE_VERSION=22.10.0
export O3DE_BUILD_VERSION=2210.0

<Run the build>

This can also be defined in the CMake variables as well. Please verify the scenario when available.

@Broganab Can we check if this test case needs to be modified for the compiled version?

[LB-HubertUberman]

@amzn-changml I have verified that after setting the environmental variables the version displayed in the affected areas are correct on both Linux and Windows on the latest Stabilization/2210 branch (https://github.com/o3de/o3de/commit/8aa659da364d7fe5f994e192441fbb2b93b0122d).

Thanks! I'll go ahead and close this issue as resolved.
