Hi,

I have the following configuration

Base Version - Version 2.0.44
Minor Upgrade - Version 2.0.45 [ Patch44To45 ]
Minor Upgrade - Version 2.0.46 [ Patch44To46, Patch45To46 ]
Minor Upgrade - Version 2.0.47 [ Patch44To47, Patch45To47, Patch46To47 ]

Assume that the end-user has the 2.0.44 version on his system and say
the version 2.0.45 has been released.
Now when the application is launched it checks if there are any patches
available and finds a newer version 2.0.45 and downloads the Patch44To45
and uncompressed MSI file for Version 2.0.44.

I run the following command in a different processs,

CODE
msiexec /p Patch44To45.msp /a 2.0.44.msi REINSTALL=omus


The patch is applied properly with all the modified files got replaced, new files
added etc., However, the Version Number of the product is not changed when
I check the Product Version number from the Control Panel.
The Version Number still remains as 2.0.44, as opposed to what i expect to be
as 2.0.45.

Why was the Version Number get updated ?

The same behaviour is observed when i try to apply the other patches.

Any clue where i am going wrong ?

Thanks & Regards,
-Satish

Your command line updates the administrative image. It doesn't update the installed product on the client machine. A restinstall on the client is required for this.
