Change Version and MSI and Have the Version Info Reflect In file Properties Advanced Installer


I am creating an msi with Advanced Installer 11.4.1

I see the Product Version in AI, but it doesnt show up anywhere in file properties. (see orca image)

enter image description here

I also tried to Set Version using the command line

"%AI%" /edit "%TEMP_MSI%\setup.aip" /SetVersion 1.2.23

The Version seems to get set but its not available in the msi's file properties

enter image description here

Even if I could get the Version to show up in the Comments field that'd be great.

Or maybe the property in Details property is hidden and needs to be visible?


Solution

  • Note that you need to edit the MSI metadata, while now you've changed the ProductVersion which is an MSI property.

    To edit the MSI metadata, you need to go in the Builds view and at the bottom page from the Configuration tab you will see the Database encoding section. Expand it to have access to the Customize Summary Information.
