Installshield: is it possible to use ProductVersion property in MSI Upgrade table? -

a typical "upgrade table" installshield msi installation cntains 2 records: "from version current upgrade" , "from current downgrade". requires manually copy-paste "current version" number every time major, minor or build number has changed, not good.

currently i'm using script parses .ism project file , replace version number in upgrade table before build. dirty hack. maybe possible utilize "productversion" msi property in upgrade table, product version stored only in property? have tried come in property name multiple ways, [productversion] or ##productversion##, nil helps - not beingness replaced property value, , resulting msi contains "##productversion##" text instead of "1.30.1264" property value.

a new project should contain 2 records intended behave describe. instead of storing actual product version, should have marker token, ***all_versions*** (sorry, i'm not near re-create of installshield right now). name token isn't great, because happens current productversion substituted @ build.

if you've changed token actual version, can alter "friendly" view selecting radio button referencing "my version" instead of actual version. or can create new project see it, , re-create in. token works in either minimum or maximum field in recent versions (but in maximum field in older versions) of installshield.
