Ok, I found Orca: After installing the "Windows Installer SDK", you have to find the Orca.msi file in \program files\Microsoft SDK\Bin\orca.msi, and run it, to install orca.

And, .ISE files ARE in Orca DB format... therefore, I expect the msi.lib msiXXXX api functions will manipulate it, and I've already found the "ProductVersion" record of the "Property" table..... When I have VFP code, I'll post it!
