I am trying to create a Windows installer patch using Installshield 2023 Patch Design view which internally uses a .pcp file. I am required to create multiple patches over the base release. For each unique patch, the third version field needs to be modified. For internal builds, only the 4th field will be modified. While doing this, I am facing the following issues:
- Base GA release(1.0.0.0) is installed.
- Patch 1.0.1.10 (Created over 1.0.0.0) installed successfully.
- Patch 1.0.1.12 (Created over 1.0.0.0) was installed successfully but the version was still 1.0.1.10 in add or remove programs.
On debugging, It seems that while running 1.0.1.12, it executes the 1.0.1.10 patch from the Windows installer cache(C:\Windows\Installer). Please suggest if some configuration settings are missing or whether updating a third field is supported.
Attached the screenshot of the pcp file.
