I am automated our patch build procedure and obviously each patch requires a unique GUID but I cant find where it is stored. I can see it in the General Information->Summary Information Stream.
While I am at it does anyone know where installscripts are stored?
In InstallShield 5.5 if I just made a script change I just changed the setp.ins file and all was good but I dont know whether ISWI puts this either.
Cheers,
A lost Dave

changing the GUID for a package can also be accomplished by using the MSIInfo.EXE from the Intel SDK for the MSI. ( rather than installing ORCA and using it to edit the tables )
the format i used to change the GUID for the ORCA MSI file is below:
msiinfo orca.msi /v {8B7871E3-8FFD-11P5-BA20-0060B0A18416}
where {8B7871E3-8FFD-11P5-BA20-0060B0A18416} is the new package code you want assigned to the product. Just specifying the MSIInfo and .MSI file will dump the results of all of the summary information from a MSI to screen.

You can also use the Windows Installer API calls. You will have to open the SummaryStream and query that.
