Hello
I have a problem in minor update. In minor upgrade the msiexec is 
looking for the upgrade name, which should be the same as the original  
msi name.
The problem is that sometimes the original setup filename is modified 
during download. For example setup.msi is modified to setup(1).msi.

I read the following two posts which describe a procedure to find the 
original msi file name in the registry and using this name as the 
upgrade name.

_Determine if multiple cestion of an Msi-installed product are installed 
using upgrade code._

The problem is that software that downloads the upgrades and calls the 
msiexec is already installed in the field
The two options I thoght about are:
 - I can send the downloading software to these users.
 - Or I can made my upgrades a Major one. and include the fixed code in 
this major upgrade

My question is if there is other way to bypass this problem.

Thanks
Giora
