Hi there!
Only for testing, we need a so called 'fictive patch' for our installations which are just beeing mastered. We want to be sure, that the Setup or MSI, we build today, will be patchable tomorrow. So I've build a MSI package witch a Version number that will never be reached, for example Version 20.99. This package contains three files with application metadata. I've also build a minor update patch, based on Version 20.00.
Now when I build a MSI package with version 20.01 oder any other version less than 20.99., I want to apply the 20.99. MSP. The result should be, that the version number is set to 20.99. and the three metadata files are being patched.
But when I try to patch version 20.01, installer shows a message saying that for this patch no patchable product could be found or that the existing Installation has the wrong version number. How can I get sure, that my patch is able to patch any prduct that has the same upgrade an product code and a smaller version number than 20.99. ?
