Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Description of problem:
The guest-tools are showing the wrong product version, which makes them unable to maintain.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virtio-win-1.9.19-1.el8.noarch.rpm
virtio-win-1.9.24-1.el8_4.noarch.rpm
virtio-win-1.9.24-2.el8_5.noarch.rpm
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. mount /usr/share/virtio-win/virtio-win-1.9.??.el8??.iso to Server 2022
2. Open File Explorer in Windows and browse to CDROM content
3. Open properties dialog virtio-win-guest-tools.exe (context-menu -> properties) and select 'Details'
Actual results:
virtio-win-1.9.19-1.el8.noarch.rpm -> Product Version: 1.9.18
virtio-win-1.9.24-1.el8_4.noarch.rpm -> Product Version: 1.9.19
virtio-win-1.9.24-2.el8_5.noarch.rpm -> Product Version: 1.9.19
Expected results:
virtio-win-1.9.19-1.el8.noarch.rpm -> Product Version: 1.9.19-1
virtio-win-1.9.24-1.el8_4.noarch.rpm -> Product Version: 1.9.24-1
virtio-win-1.9.24-2.el8_5.noarch.rpm -> Product Version: 1.9.24-2
Additional info:
It's possible to install virtio-win-guest-tools' from package 'virtio-win-1.9.19-1.el8.noarch.rpm' and upgrade it with the one from 'virtio-win-1.9.24-1.el8_4.noarch.rpm'
At this stage, we had Version 1.9.18 installed initially [step_1.jpg] and updated it to version 1.9.19 [step_2.jpg]. After this, it's not possible to upgrade to the version from package 'virtio-win-1.9.24-2.el8_5.noarch.rpm' as this version (1.9.19) is already installed. [step_3_failing.jpg)
Please check screenshots with appropriate information on the specific version details each version.

- virtio-win-1.9.24-2.el8_5.png
I tested virtio-win-1.9.26-1.el9_0 pkg.
The Virtio-win iso is labelled version: virtio-win-1.9.26
The installer product version: 1.9.26, which is the same with above.
Btw, I see "File version: 1.9.26.0" from virtio-win-guest-tools properties, I'm wondering if it is expected and will not impact others.
Thanks,
