No it doesn't, the only version mentioned is 1.9.0, and that's in relationship to what it is trying to install - the 1.9.3's only appear in the context of the name of the msi file - which can be anything. Now here's what I did:
I looked in the registry and 1.9.2 appeared where it should
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Toxaris\ePUB Tools\Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Toxaris\ePUB Tools\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Toxaris\ePUB Tools\Version = 1.9.2
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-21-3755760686-4144392507-2264908130-1000\Products\DEBB102F7E49CDE4F9D6D8695BB08959\InstallProperties\DisplayVersion = 1.9.2
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{F201BBED-94E7-4EDC-9F6D-8D96B50B9895}\DisplayVersion = 1.9.2
I turned the registry inside-out, upside-down and shook-it-all-about - no sign of a 1.9.0 for anything
So I uninstalled 1.9.2 and installed ePUBTools_1.9.3-setup_en.msi,
Now where I previously saw 1.9.2 in the registry I see 1.9.0, and in the Control Panel->Programs & Features I'm informed I just installed 1.9.0. And when I look at C:\Program Files (x86)\Toxaris\ePUB Tools\ePUBTools.dll.manifest I see lines such as this
Code:
<assemblyIdentity name="ePUBTools" version="1.9.0.0" language="neutral" processorArchitecture="msil" />
The message that the Trusted Installer gave me was spot on. I was trying to install a product branded as "1.9.0" in the manifest, and that is where the Trusted Installer gets its information from, when I already had a later version, "1.9.2", installed. If you read the log carefully that's exactly what it tells us -
Windows Installer installed the product.
Product Name: ePUB Tools.
Product Version: 1.9.0.
Product Language: 1033.
Manufacturer: Toxaris.
Installation success or error status: 1603.
Yes, it would be better if it said "Windows Installer
tried to install..." but I have a suspicion that not all 1603 error's are fatal.
When I look at version of the Epub Tools addin in Word it tells me it's 1.9.0 and it tells me that 1.9.3 is available...
I'm going to uninstall 1.9.whatever-it-is and reinstall 1.9.2 and await further developments.
