I came across this post whilst searching for an answer to the same problem. I assume you are talking about the WiX tutorial on http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php; if so, then the problem comes from the fact that the author includes a single quote in this line:
<PatchMetadata Description="Acme's Foobar 1.0.1 Patch" The interesting thing is earlier in the tutorial text, it is mentioned that doing this will cause problems. Yet it is still done in the downloadable code; the code on the site above does not have this problem. Remove the single quote, making the line <PatchMetadata Description="Acmes Foobar 1.0.1 Patch" and all should be well. I would play it safe and also delete the single quote from the line <PatchInformation Description="Acmes Foobar 1.0.1 Patch" too. I know this is a late reply, but as I said, I only came across this page whilst searching for an answer to the same problem. I don't know if you still have it, but either way, it will help anyone else who searches for this problem, hopefully :o) Ondra Mazanec wrote: > > Hello everybody > > I did not found in the archive, how was the problem with the Patch > sample in the Wix tutorial solved. > > See the thread below. > > Where can i get the new version of msimsp.exe? > > Thank you in advance. > > Ondra Mazanec > > > > > > ================================================= > I have run into this same problem, and found the > UiCreatePatchPackage error code as well; however, now I'm a bit > stuck.
