Just updated to 8.6 and changed the Product Version of my project on the Product Details page from 5.0.2 to 5.0.3. After installing the package, windows still shows the software as 5.0.2.
In the AIP file the registry setting for DisplayVersion is not updating.
Did I do something wrong or is this a bug, and is it safe to manually modify the value in the api file for now?

Re: Product version not updating with 8.6
Hi,
I am not sure why this is happening, can you please send us the aip file and a verbose log of the installation to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate this further more?
application, this operation would not be performed in case of a manual editing, which could lead to other problems during upgrades.

Please note that manually editing the .aip file is not recommended. Also, when changing the version Advanced Installer automatically handles the changing of the product code of yourDid I do something wrong or is this a bug, and is it safe to manually modify the value in the api file for now?

Re: Product version not updating with 8.6
I'm facing the exact same issue. I last build my installer with Advanced Installer 8.5, and the product version at that time of my product was 0.0.930, and I updated to Advanced Installer 8.6 and build my app's new version i.e. 0.0.936 and it installs fine, but it is showing 0.0.930 version in control panel of windows.
I've emailed the Log to support@advancedinstaller.com ...

Re: Product version not updating with 8.6
Hi,
After a series of tests we reproduced the problem too, using your project file.
It seems there is a hard-coded version ,the old one, remaining in the project file, left by Advanced Installer. To eliminate it you need to go in Product Details page, un-tick and then tick back the option "Override Windows Installer programs list entry", after which rebuild the project.
