Inside the PatchFamily, include, <PropertyRef Id="ProductVersion"/>
So that the updated productversion property is included in the patch. -----Original Message----- From: Elfe Xu [mailto:elf...@microsoft.com] Sent: 11 April 2011 04:38 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] ProductVersion does not changed after install Patch Hi, I'm following the tutorial http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_patching.htm to create patches by WiX. I have an old MSI with version 0.1.1463.0, and a new MSI with version 0.2.1468.0, and then using the same approach as the tutorial to create a Patch.msp. I installed old MIS, then install Patch.msp. I found although the files are replaced correctly after installing patch, the ProductVersion shown on Add/Remove Program panel is still the old one (0.1.1463.0). And I found I can install the patch again and again. I use ORCA to check the packages. For old MSI, it has a property ProductVersion=0.1.1463.0 For new MSI, it has a property ProductVersion=0.2.1468.0 For the Patch, The MsiPatchSequence has the SamplePatchFamily row with sequence=0.2.1468.0. However, it does not contain any other version information. If I use Transform->ViewPatch to view the Patch, in the Property table, I only see following properties added, but the ProductVersion property is not changed. _806DAAD55E60414984A8C6AB43F2E87C.AllowRemoval 1 _806DAAD55E60414984A8C6AB43F2E87C.PatchCode {806DAAD5-5E60-4149-84A8-C6AB43F2E87C} PATCHNEWSUMMARYSUBJECT A test Minor Update PATCHNEWPACKAGECODE {806DAAD5-5E60-4149-84A8-C6AB43F2E87C} PATCHNEWSUMMARYCOMMENTS A test Minor Update What should I do, to make the ProductVersion updated after installing the patch?
