Are your patches MSP files performing either small updates or minor upgrades? If so, the patch application won't let you patch anywhere other than the currently installed location since the keypath of the components can't be changed without a major upgrade.

The company I work for wants to give users the freedom to install our product in a directory of their choice. We've given the installer a default directory which can be changed at install time by the user. This has worked fine up until attempting to patch the package. I successfully made a patch which patches the package without problem if it's installed to the default location, however if users choose to install the product in an alternate location and then patch the patch fails because it's still trying to change files on the default location. Any ideas on how I can dynamically set up the patch install location based on where the user installs our product? Thanks in advance.
