Patch not updating ProductVersion in registry

[lam1278]

I have a Minor Upgrade from which I have created a patch from.

I cannot figure out why this component is not writing to the registry. There have been no new registry entries included in the update, I just want it to populate the [ProductVersion] in the "Version" string in the registry.

Is there something I can do to make sure this component gets included?

This component does not have any files associated with it, only a registry set.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FYI - The Minor Upgrade does what it is supposed to do.

The component that has not changed still updates the "Version" registry entry with [ProductVersion]


The patch does not do this.

You may want to create a verbose log of the patch install to see what the requested and action states of the component are during the patch. If something is disallowing the component from reinstalling (which should not normally be the case if there is no keyfile in the component), this would explain why the registry doesn't get updated, and then we would need to determine why the component is not reinstalling during the patch install.

I actually went into the component that had the registry update in it and made the "Version" the "key path" and then it worked.
