I think the ICE45 can be ignored if it only occurs on new rows added by the patch and the attributes are set to the value for "Patch Added" - thats a known issue with the ICE test.
The ICE03 error repeats what your original error says: that you have an invalid database structure but Ive seen InstallShield make patches with invalid entries in the _Validation table and it doesn't affect patch installation - just the validation of it. You could try correcting those errors with Orca and see if that helps. The patch log section is OK. You get that message when a file has changed to such an extent that the differences are larger than the file itself or if the file is new. What ICE errors does the unpatched, original MSI have, if any ? -----Original Message----- From: pramodh_pe...@dell.com [mailto:pramodh_pe...@dell.com] Sent: 18 October 2010 15:11 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] "Error 2725: Invalid database tables" errorwhile uninstalling a patch Thanks Peter for the response. I used orca to do validation on the patches. I didn't use custom ICE validators; I mean left the field blank. It's giving errors on valid patches also. Errors of this kind: " ICE03 ERROR Table: MsiPatchHeaders Column: Header Missing specifications in _Validation Table (or Old Database) ICE45 ERROR Row 'file6770' in table 'File' has bits set in the 'Attributes' column that are reserved. They must be 0 to ensure compatibility with future installer versions." This error is thrown for, I think, all the files that are shipped in the msp file. I looked at the patch building log for file6770 and this is what it has (2.1.21001 is the 1st patch on the clean installed product, which is 2.1.21000. This patch and everything up until 5th patch doesn't have this uninstall problem. 6th patch has this problem): FTK=file6770; temp location=Patch\10002.FLE. Files differ: 'c:\sandbox\wixobj\sb\patches\2.1.21001\admin\.\.\lib\sbwela.jar', 'c:\sandbox\wixobj\sb\patches\2.1.21000\admin\.\.\lib\sbwela.jar'. Patch API could not create a small patch; using whole upgraded file. Including entire file: 'c:\sandbox\wixobj\sb\patches\2.1.21001\admin\.\.\lib\sbwela.jar'; Any thoughts?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] "Error 2725: Invalid database tables" error while uninstalling a patch Have you tried running ICE Validation of the MSI with and without the patch(es) applied in something like Orca or InstEd ? That might give you an idea as to what is wrong. -----Original Message----- From: pramodh_pe...@dell.com [mailto:pramodh_pe...@dell.com] Sent: 14 October 2010 23:53 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] "Error 2725: Invalid database tables" error while uninstalling a patch We use wix installer 3.0 to build MSIs and MSPs. We have the product installed with msi and has a bunch of patches (MSPs) installed on it. We build the latest patch and installed on the top of that. Installing works fine and the product also works fine. The problem is that we can't uninstall that patch. It gives the error "Error 2725: Invalid database tables". We confirmed that uninstalling worked fine for the previous patches. The command I am using to uninstall the patch is (first GUID is the product GUID and 2nd is the patch GUID) the following. Same command works fine for the earlier patches. Msiexec /I {E793D01E-8222-4f65-A718-2A94891A0E46} MSIPATCHREMOVE={B4025760-B524-4B4F-BFAA-EE5941F55F18} /qb /norestart /l*vx uninstall_patch.log Can someone help me? Thanks. -Pramodh.
