Thanks for your reply. Yes, the text file has been edited after the install. I build msi 1, install it. I edit the text file, create msi 2, create msp from the two msi's and run it (with REINSTALLMODE=vamus). File is not updated nor requested. I looked at your link and only found 2 parts. In both, the problem seemed to have something to do with advertise, but "advertise" is not mentioned in my patch log, so I don't think either article is relevant to my issue :(
Any more advice would be very appreciated. On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 4:36 PM, Peter Shirtcliffe <pshirtcli...@sdl.com>wrote: > Has the text file been edited since it was installed ?
