How should we change the product Version in a patch installer?

While seeing the patch installer through orca, we were able to see that the patch installer has only 2 tables. We wanted to see if there is some field related to product version of original product(which is to be patched)there. But we were not able to track that.

Could someone let us know how the product version of the product to be patched is stored in a patch installer.

Hi Sarvanan,

When creating the Patch Creation Properties file (.pcp), add a Properties table in it, if necessary (theProperties tablehas two columns called Name and Value)and add the ProductVersion property in the Properties table. Specify the new product version there.

Hope this helps.
