Description Steffen Froemer 2022-04-25 09:43:24 UTC
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.

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,
Xiaoling
