Hello
Does anyone know where Upgrade Code is physically stored?

I’ll try to explain what I need to know.

Windows Installer operates with “Upgrade Code” and “Product Code”. InstallAware has only one edit field – Product Code.

For first installation packages build from my IA project “Upgrade Code”(WI)= “Product Code”(WI)= Product Code(IA).
But then I faced the necessity to change Upgrade and Product codes of my project. BUT change in Product Code field in InstallAware GUI influenced only Product Code of Windows Installer, Upgrade code stayed the same (InstallAware compiler somehow remember this value, but I can’t find where it is stored. Any help here? Pleeeeeease).

Thats where you can access it in the UI but where is it recorded on your computer. Registry, file, database or what?

I need to find the old one because the new one was changed in error.

You may try to use ORCA to inspect the MSI file stored under ProgramFiles folder.
The UpgradeCode is listed in the "property" table of the MSI file.

Hope this helps you.
