Description V Stuart Foote 2024-04-08 14:00:24 UTC
Mozilla ARchive (mar) on Win builds not correcting build version in the Win appwiz.cpl

A new install of 24.2.0.3 with a 'setx LIBO_UPDATER_TEST_ENABLE "1" /M' applied, will perform MAR update cycle on initial launch. Currently from 24.2.0.3 --> 24.2.2.1 (bf759d8), but stops there. Is the 24.2.2.2 final not yet processing?

Beyond that, opening the Windows "Programs and Features" dialog (appwiz.cpl from cmd prompt) the updated LibreOffice install is still 'Named' LibreOffice 24.2.0.3 from the initial package install, but also continues to show 'Version' 24.2.0.3 which is not helpful.

Other MAR updated programs, e.g. Firefox or Thunderbird, record and show the current 'Version' on the appwiz panel and in the Windows registry. Panel clips for the Windows registry install and uninstall keys attached.

See bug 68274 comment 34. This was anticipated; and the cosmetic issue of wrong displayed version is just a minor thing - much more severe will be modifying / repairing the installation. And I see no way of handling that - given that it's only possible using MSI mechanism, and we don't use that in the MAR technology (which isn't an issue for Mozilla, which never used MSI).
