MSI is not picking the productcode and productname from .ism file


I have updated "ProductCode", "ProductName" and "ProductVersion" of .ism file using install shield and triggered the MSI.

But the MSI is not picking the latest product code, name and verions. Still it is reflecting the old values.

Old values:

ProductCode {A6CA6D00-21B0-4E0F-BAFF-9C3C8E945C23}
ProductLanguage1033
ProductNameANDCSPRT
ProductVersion94.04.04.01

New Values:

ProductCode{A083A8CF-A89C-42B1-9D08-7B76D780C3FA}
ProductLanguage1033
ProductNameANDCPATCH
ProductVersion01.04.00

From the orca tool, I can see the old values only from the MSI


Solution

  • If you have overridden these values in the "Releases" view in Installshield, I guess they take precedence over the values found in the "General Information" view (or equivalent - not sure if it is the same in all Installshield versions).

    Please check what values are specified for these "properties" in the Releases View for the particular release you built / rebuilt. Also, after the build, select the specific release you built and go Tools => Open Release Folder (or equivalent - not sure of the exact text) to see the MSI you actually built.
