Hello all, I have run across quite the puzzle last week. We have been generating patches for several RTM versions of our products since December or 2013 with Pure WiX patching and 3.7. Just recently (about a week ago) the patch scripts are generating MSPs for ONE of the versions that do not apply to its RTM. I'm getting no Windows Installer logs, however Orca is reporting the following when I try to "View Patch..."
--------------------------- Orca --------------------------- This patch can not be applied to packages with the current Product Code. --------------------------- OK I see the ProductCode in the "Upgrade" MSI is different to that of the PC in the RTM. Should this matter? When attempting to apply the patch on a Server OS (2008 R2) I get the following: Windows Installer The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a difference version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch. What else should I be looking at from MSIExec? I've been working on this for the better part of 5 days and can't figure out what is going on. I can reproduce the issue on my dev box as well with a newly built Upgrade MSI. Thoughts please :( Stephen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
