Try verbose log to see which file has a problem. Use command line like: msiexec /update "mypatch path\MyPatch.msp" /lv*x .\Patch.log
Then in the log you will find the entry saying that local source for some file can't be resolved and that it is trying to find the original MSI. In my case problems of this sort typically occurred when executable file was changed because code was changed, but the version has not been updated to reflect that. If it not executable but data file, you should probably set creation and modification date of them to be the same before they get packed into MSI. Distant possibility is that you have run out of the disk space allocated for caching MSI and patches. I have not encountered this problem yet but I fear it may appear one of these days forcing me to use bootstrapper to copy MSI to a known location, call install from there and leave MSI on drive. -----Original Message----- From: Oivind [mailto:oivind.fla...@visma.com] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 9:33 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Problem installing patch Finally after a lot of struggling I succeed to make my patch ready and installable. I do have a problem when the original setup for my product is not avaiable during the installation of the patch. Does anyone know if it's possible to install a patch without claiming access to the original MSI file for the product? Thanks in advance.
