Resolution

run command

  • display.bat -n Axway_Installer
  • compare result with the content of file, component.properties, (usually located in \Axway\Synchrony\synInstall\synPatch\) "Version" variable. The command output and the Version variable from the file, they should have the same installer and SP level

If the values differs, the variable in the component.properties should be corrected to reflect what the command displayed, for exemple:

Version=4.8.0_SP6.0

Thent the upgrade attempt should be done again.
