File versions and patches
Hi
I created an Installshield MSI with a lot of DLL files in it. I created the project so that i have 1 file for 1 component. So every file is a keyfile of a component.
But i noticed that in the File table, no size or versions are mentioned, size is zero for every file and version is empty.
When creating a patch, the file version should be used to decide to do an upgrade but in installshield they're not shown.
Is this normal or did i forget to activate an option somewhere to include versions?
edit: I checked the msi file with orca and in the file table everything looks normal with the correct sizes and fileversions.
I still wonder why they're not shown in installshield.
If i edit the .msi with installshield (direct edit) the versions and sizes are present.
I find it a bit annoying when you are working on patches and updates that you can't check the versions or sizes, but i noticed in the .ism view, if you go to the file and folder view and you select the property of a file, the version and the size are mentioned in the override options. So you can have a quick view there.
