hi there all

im able to creat a first msi of a product by using the group policy and buy choosing the comile product that creat the exe.

my question is how to create a second version of the msi (i use filezilla version 3.2.0 and 3.2.3.1 version to do my test )
with filezilla 3.23.1 to upgrade the version 3.2.0 made before ?

i know a bit about product code and revison code upgarde code etc...

but it seems the code i have in the project and the final msi create they are not the same.


how can i acheive this for deployement over GPO

Thanks to all

Keep the product code the same and change the revision code and also update the product version. Then proceed as normally, wrapping the setup using the Group Policy Wizard if you wish to deploy it thus.
