Thank you for the link. I changed the upgrade install to the same name as the original install and the upgrade worked fine. However, this did not solve my initial problem - torch/pyro is not finding a difference so pyro is not building the patch. Any other ideas as to how I fix this? -Orig

You can't change the name of the MSI in a minor/small update. See http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/installshield12helplib/MajorMinorSm all.htm is only used for major upgrades and won't affect what you're doing currently. -Original Message- From: Jeanne Dixon [mailto:jdi...@cots

I don't know if this is related to why no changes are detected, but I put in the tags and tried to run the msi file as a minor upgrade through the msiexec command line. When I do that it starts to run the install (as opposed to giving me the message that a different version already exists), but

It sounds like you've done it right so far. A patch IS a minor upgrade. A patch just a different way of packaging the upgrade. By leaving unchanged resources out, you can't do a first time install with it but it's smaller. The version number can be different in any field to be different in a mino

I've done this type of installer many times before and whoever is giving you the requirements is off in the weeds. What you want is an installer with three feature. Web, App, Data. You run the installer on 'n' number of machines and installing the features as needed for your deployment sce

How you build is up to you. As long as the MSIs that come out of the build contain the correct files, then it's a valid method. From your description, it's not clear if you're building the MSI before or after you change the file in the first ads_install directory, which might be where you're going

You can't. Windows Installer is a single machine deployment technology. You'll need to use some system in conjunction with it, that's capable of network deployment, such as GPSI or SCCM. -Original Message- From: aman jha [mailto:er.amanjha...@gmail.com] Sent: 01 August 2012 08:33 To: wix
