I am using InstallShield to create projects.
When I build a project the name of .msi file is Product Name. As the name of my product is "MyProduct 1.0", so the name of msi file is MyProduct 1.0.msi.

Now when I build an updater for this, say MyProduct 1.1,
1. I build an uncompressed image of setup, the name of msi file is MyProduct 1.1.msi.
2. But as the documentation says update must not change the name of the .msi file. So I renamed the msi file from MyProduct 1.1.msi to MyProduct 1.0.msi.
3. My updater works fine.

My question is, is it fine to build the updater by renaming the msi file (step 2 above)? Can it have some negative affect?

I thinks it's okay, although I don't know for sure which side effects changing the ProductName may have.
