Hello, I have modified the Sample Patch by Peter Marcu to test all the cases.
The MoveFile problem happens only if 1. Installer has UI 2. msiexec /update Patch.msp REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus is used The sample has no UI, so the simplest command line installs the update. msiexec /update Patch.msp But, if we have UI, msiexec /update Patch.msp /passive does nothing. If I add REINSTALL & REINSTALLMODE my database is gone. Any ideas how to avoid REINSTALL & REINSTALLMODE and install the patch?
