I find the following sequence interesting: MSI (s) (0C:1C) [13:22:51:678]: Transforming table Component. MSI (s) (0C:1C) [13:22:51:678]: Note: 1: 2262 2: Component 3: -2147287038
The second line means: Stream does not exist: Component. System error: STG_E_FILENOTFOUND. The Component table is required in any non-trivial package, and as far as I know it is always required. This appears to be saying that it can't find the Component table when the patch is removed from the view. What version of MSI are you targeting? Which darice.cub are you using to validate your MSI (what size is it)? -----Original Message----- From: pramodh_pe...@dell.com [mailto:pramodh_pe...@dell.com] Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 9:17 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] "Error 2725: Invalid database tables" error while uninstalling a patch Another observation. There is a new file that is supposed to be laid down by the latest patch (that is having the uninstall problems). I can't see this file after installing this patch? Does anyone think this could cause this problem while uninstalling? I attached the uninstall log file, in case it is useful for anyone in analyzing the problem. Sorry for the large size, it used maximum verbose logging. Thx, -Pramodh. -----Original Message----- From: Peddi, Pramodh Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 10:11 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] "Error 2725: Invalid database tables" error while 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.
