Making a Patch :: Problem

[papacha]

Hi,

I have made an "install_v100.msi", all is good and the installation works fine.
But I need to give a patch now, so I look at FAQ and HELPS to know how I could do that.

I follow the instructions, I recompile the whole project with new version.
So I have 2 files of 500Mo

"install_v100.msi" and the new ones "install_v105.msi"

I run the patch wizard, I put the two files in "old" and "new" textarea selection.

When I do "Build" is there a big problem.

One of the msi lunch himself and try to self install... And then the pacth creation is blocked !

Please ! A little help, I can't make patch and I need to make one.

Hi,

When the patch is created those two msi runs in administrative install so this is a normal behavior.

I see that you have two files of 500Mb so the patch creation process could be a little longer.

And then the patch creation is blocked !

Also please give me more details about how the patch is blocked. What error you get?

Regards,
Gigi

Ok perhaps it's for that ^^
I will make the patch when go to eat and see if 1 hour later it's ok, thanks for you reply.

ok I runs the build process and the first msi try to run.
And then after 30 min block at the "Windows Installer" window.

Begining the installation...

And no other thing, perhaps it's normal because my program is near 500Mo, but it takes longer than the normal install process.

Edit :
Ok I have an error of time out ; the installation program doesn't respond. With "Try again" or "Quit"
