Looking at the path depth on your assembly, you could have hit some sort of .NET find next limitation. The path is also rather long at 155 characters although still within the 260 character .NET limit. I prefer my builds to have a considerably flatter directory structure than this for maximum reliability. I stay as far away from .NET's path limitations as I can.
I also do not use PatchWiz, I use the Wix patch generation technique and I have been quite happy with it. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer -- ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.(r) Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 1:04 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

After investigating, *NO* configuration changes to my build system were made other than some updates from Microsoft. The system consistently stops on the same file as seen in the snippet below - INFO Comparing Files: D:\TradeStation\Platform\TS\Dev\TS9.4\Source\WixInstall\TradeStation\bin\Release\Admin\Build290\TradeStation Technologies\TradeStation\RegistASM.exe D:\TradeStation\Platform\TS\Dev\TS9.4\Source\WixInstall\TradeStation\bin\Release\Admin\Build298\TradeStation Technologies\TradeStation\RegistASM.exe... INFO Comparing bytes... ERROR: Cannot create patch file for 'D:\TradeStation\Platform\TS\Dev\TS9.4\Source\WixInstall\TradeStation\bin\Release\Admin\Build298\program files\TradeStation 9.4\Program\TSResourceDllChs.dll' at 'C:\Temp'. ERROR: The Last Error Received is: 0xc00000fd (-1073741571) INFO: Temporary folder is about to be cleaned out and deleted: C:\Temp ERROR: Internal PatchWiz Error occurred. ERROR: The Last Error Received is: 0x91 (145) ERROR: During cleanup, could not delete the temporary folder: C:\Temp. ERROR: The Last Error Received is: 0x91 (145) The file in question is a resource only .dll about 11-13 megs in size (we have one per language we support). I tried including the whole file to see if the system would then pick on the next resource .dll in question but even with that change we still crash. MsiMsp is version 5.x (latest I'm aware of). Assumed first it was low space or another annoying Temp issue so I checked - plenty of space (60 gig) and cleaned out Temp with the same results. Any advice anyone can share would be greatly appreciated - I'm stumped with this one.
