Hello I have a problem in minor update. In minor upgrade the msiexec is looking for the upgrade name, which should be the same as the original msi name. The problem is that sometimes the original setup filename is modified during download. For example setup.msi is modified to setup(1).msi.
I read the following two posts which describe a procedure to find the original msi file name in the registry and using this name as the upgrade name.
