How to change product version with Electron Builder (Windows)?

I am using Electron Builder to build an Electron app. I would like the executable to have a product version that is different from the package.json version.

This is what the build instruction in package.json looks like:

"build": {
    "appId": "myAppId",
    "productName": "My App",
    "copyright": "Copyright (C) 2022 My Company",
    "artifactName": "My App.exe",
    "directories": {
        "output": "dist/My App"
    },
    "buildVersion": "1.0.0.1"
},

I thought that buildVersion would update the product version, but when I look at the details of the .exe file, the product version has remained the same as the version number in package.json (1.0.0):

App details

How can I solve this?


EDIT: As a workaround, I downloaded this package, called verpatch, and I used its executable to change the product version of my application's .exe file:

.\verpatch.exe "My App.exe" /va "1.0.0.1" /pv "1.0.0.1" /s copyright "Copyright (C) 2022 My Company" /s description "My App's Description" /s product "My App"

It would be nice, however, to be able to use Electron Builder for this, instead of an external package.
