How To: Base Package - PATCH - MODIFY

[yogesh12]

Hello:
Greetings:

1. Created the Base Package (1.0.0) & can successfully update, repair & uninstall it.
2. Created the Upgrade (1.0.1) & then the Patch Package
3. Installed the Base Package (1.0.0) & then the Patch (1.0.1) successfully

Note: For 1.0.1 two files were modified, three new files added and one new table is added to the SQL Server database

Now we want to UPDATE (Maintenance - using Base Package) the currently installed (1.0.1) application. How to handle this scenario?

Hi,

I'm afraid I don't understand, what do you mean you "want to update using the base package"? The application is already updated to version 1.0.1.

Regards,
Bogdan

Will Explain:

1. Base package has 5 Features (F1, F2 ... F5)
2. Installed Base Package with the Features F1, F2
3. Installed the Patch (1.0.1) successfully
4. Now want to install the rest of the Features (F3, F4, F5) from Base Package

First, will the scenario occur?
Second, If YES then How to handle this scenario?

Thank you for your valuable time

OR Should the BASE package be build without the REPAIR & MODIFY options (i.e by selecting "Disable Modify" & "Disable Repair" from the "Product Details" page) ... So that the default package is installed (Features F1, F2 ... F5) so no need to come back for MODIFY ...

Please suggest

Hello,

EDIT: modifying an installation is always possible if the MSI containing all features was correctly cached on that machine and the cache was not removed afterwards. This behavior is regardless of the version or last update installed (patch or major upgrade).

All the best,
Mihai
