I assumed you verified that the files are bit-for-bit the same before attempting to apply the patch.
Do you build your MSP on a Vista/Server 2008 system? We saw this one time and it happened only with Release (not Debug) for just one file, but didn't happen when building on XP/32-bit (I never investigated building on either 64-bit XP or Server 2003). Our products were not allowed on Server OSs but we did our official builds on them. It seems that the PatchAPI binaries (described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb417345.aspx) are somehow different and the Patch Apply routines are somehow sometimes different between platforms. For a workaround we had to mark that one file as "whole file" instead of delta. It didn't happen every build, but it did happen for about two months around one of our major releases. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Juricic [mailto:tjuri...@tradestation.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 2:56 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Patch failure on XP that doesn't happen on Vista Applying the patch on one XP system produces the following error log for one file (edited here to shorten the path to MYFILE.EXE): MSI (s) (74:4C) [17:23:03:041]: Executing op: CacheBaselineFile(Baseline=0,FileKey=MYFILE.EXE,FilePath=C:\Program Files\..\ MYFILE.EXE,,Existing=0) MSI (s) (74:4C) [17:23:03:103]: Executing op: PatchApply(PatchName= MYFILE.EXE,TargetName=C:\Program Files\..\ MYFILE.EXE,PatchSize=6113,TargetSize=1001984,PerTick=0,,FileAttributes=512,P atchAttributes=0,CheckCRC=0) MSI (s) (74:4C) [17:23:03:135]: Re-applying security from existing file.
