What does a verbose log say? If you are not certain as to the value of your IUSR_USERNAME property, it will be hard to verify that what account was given write access to your file. -Blair -Original Message- From: gapearce [mailto:mr_gapea...@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 12:42

Explain "not included in the patch", because I have three very different ideas that you could be referring to. 1) Is this based on opening the MSP file in Orca? 2) Was there an error when applying the patch to an already installed product? 3) Are you referring to running SQL against the MSP file i

All three can be done, yet I do not recommend #3 at all (just don't do it). Use Windows Installer properties to implement #1 would best meet your goals.
