Error creating patches

Hello,

I am evaluating advanced installer but i keep getting an error.
When i create a new patch and select 2 of our msi files and build the patch it says:

ERROR: Since MSI 3.0 will block installation of major upgrade patches with sequencing information, creation of such patches is blocked.

***** Log finishing: 2005-05-23 11:02:39 *****

error.
Exception - Reason: MsiMsp.exe failed to create the patch file.

What do i have to change to enable patches?

Kind regards,
Jon van Dorsten

Hi Jon,

You cannot create that patch because one of your MSI files contains the MsiPatchSequence table and it is not possible to create a MAJOR upgrade (different Version and different Product Code) patch that has such a table.

You can find more from:

The MSI packages created by Advanced Installer do not have that table so MAJOR upgrade packages can also be easily created.

Best regards,
Mihai
