It depends on how you are making the patch. You will need to create an updated MSI which is the same as the previous one but with a new product version number. Keep the product code unchanged. If you are using wholly wix patching with wixpdbs, just create your patch as normal and it will pick up the product version change automatically. If you are using the admin install method and explicitly listing the changes in the PatchFamily element, then create the updated MSI as above and include a propertyref to the productversion property in the patch family:

Hi I need to make a patch for an already installed product, to just update its version information i.e. 9.4.5.10 to 9.4.5.11. I read different articles/posts, but not getting any proper way to do this. Any help would be really appreciated.
