	DWORD dwVersionLS		// least significant version number
);

Parameters

hPackage

[in] Handle to an open package file.

 

dwVersionMS

dwVersionLS

[in] A value which specifies the least significant package version number. Typically this value corresponds to the build number of a product being updated with the patch package.

Return Values

The package version number can only be set if the package is opened for create or update access.
