AX 2012 R3 CU8 - Binary update ver # not updating in Add/Remove programs

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

?Hi,

I downloaded the latest binary update and updated my AOS and client in a test environment.
Everything appears to have gone well, except the version number is not updated in the Add/Remove programs screen.
It still says 6.3.164.0. The file sizes and dates were updated.  The Kernel version in the client is updated and the version on the AOS executable is updated. My only hang up/issue is "the version number in Add/Remove isn't updated."  I'm concerned about rolling it out to Production.  See pictures below.

Any ideas?

Thank you - Mike

    Hi André - That's what I thought, but was not sure.  That's good to know.  I have a large installation so I plan to open a ticket with MS to see what they say and get some advice.  I will post if I get anything else from them.

    No. Andre just wrote: "If the files are showing the correct version, the setup was completed successfully."

    Hi Andre,

    If so, does it mean the update was not completed correctly?

    Hi Michael,

    The version number remains the same on the add/Remove programs. If you choose to view updates, you can review them but without the version number. If the files are showing the correct version, the setup was completed successfully.
