If folks are looking for some good information regarding patching, you might
try the following:

(but he has lots more advice therein regarding patches) Example:

Don't patch the patch!
Always target:
a) only RTM
b) RTM + another (non-patched) full install built after RTM
c) same as b plus you can add all full install MSI targets built after
RTM and preceding your patch build)
I don't know why 'they' (i.e. secretive installer people who reveal
pieces of a puzzle slowly and unwillingly, in a blog post or two, now
and then, maybe never...) have never explained it well enough for
everybody to understand, but the above works.

Hi,
I'm running into what seems to be a common error on the mailing list,
but
none of the solutions so far have worked for me.
I have 3 basic test patches:
RTM: installs file1
Patch1: targets rtm, updates launch condition of RTM
Patch2: targets Patch1, updates file1 and installs directory2\file2
Patch3: targets Patch 2, updates file1 and installs directory3\file3
(doesn't touch file2)
Using Wix 2.0.5325.0 and MsiMsp 4.0 I am able to successfully create
Patch1.msp and Patch2.msp, but running MisMsp on Patch3.pcp gives the
error:
INFO: Phase V: Entering Generate MSP.
INFO: Generating Patch Metadata.
ERROR: Internal PatchWiz Error occurred.
ERROR: The Last Error Received is: 1627
ERROR: The Last Error Received is: 1: 2213 2:
I've ensured the MediaDiskId field is not blank (RTM Media Id=1, Patch1
Family DiskId=10, Patch2 Family DiskId=20, Patch3 Family DiskId=30) (all
patches are in the same family)
I've ensured the SequenceStart does not overlap (P1=1000, P2=2000,
P3=3000)
I've tried pointing MsiFileToUseToCreatePatchTables to the RTM.msi, and
tried each of the other patch msi's just in case.
Has anyone else run into this error that turned out to be a different
problem/solution than below?
Thanks,
Shawn
