For applications that use the Windows Installer (msi) exclusively for application maintenance, the MSI Display Version can be used by AppLife Manager for correct version identification.
NOTE: AppLife Update can maintain applications using the Windows Installer through the use of the Execute MSI update action.
All major MSI creation tools will maintain uninstall information on the client, including Display Name and Display Version, which provides a method of version identification that is more straightforward than using MSI Product Code or Upgrade Code values.
To use the MSI Display Version for version identification, you will set the MSI Display Name of your application within the AppLife Manager configuration. AppLife Manager will search the Windows Installer uninstall information for your display name and read the corresponding Display Version for identifying the correct installed version.
