For a while patching errors like:

MSI (s) (28:48) [13:52:25:298]: Product: MyProduct -- Error 1328. Error 
applying patch to file C:\Config.Msi\PTCCC8.tmp.  It has probably been updated 
by other means, and can no longer be modified by this patch.  For more 
information contact your patch vendor.  System Error: -1072807676

appeared only in XP installations which has a buggy MSPATCHA.DLL. The same 
patch would succeed on Vista and Windows 7, for example. Copying MSPATCHA,.DLL 
from Visa to XP would make patching succeed on XP too, therefore making it 
quite clear that the cause is indeed a bug in patch application dll.

I managed to fix my XP users by including the entire offending file in the 
patch.

However now I am getting the reports of the same problem on Windows 7 too. What 
makes matters worse is that it doesn't happen for one specific file, like it 
used on XP, but many different files were reported.

Reinstalling the application from scratch and then applying the patch fixes the 
problem - the same patch that previously failed with error 1328 now succeeds. 
Naturally, this 'fix' drives customers pretty mad.

Any similar experiences recently with Windows 7?  Some people believe that 
patching issues started after one of Windows system updates.

If I have to include each and every file in its entirety, that kills the 
motivation to use this update system in the first place.
