Hello!

What I'm doing wrong?
Patch between Minor Update MSIs.
My patch asks for the original installation media?

PCP created by ISWI 1.5
MsiMsp.exe V 2.0.2600

Executed on WI 3.1

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

now I've created the MSP file with MsiMsp.exe V 3.1.

The same result!
Why does the patch want to have the original installation media? ( MSI file)?????

Thanks in advance for any hint!

Is the Action ResolveSource in the table InstallUiSequence or InstallExecuteSequence of the base package?

[Johannes John]

Hello akerl,

thanks for your reply.

Yes, the CA ResolveSource is called in both sequences, but with the condition "NOT Installed" and the LOG shows me, that during the patch, the ResolveSource isn't executed.

The source media request occures during the CA InstallFiles at the first file, which isn't part of the patch.

Why does the patch accesses files, which aren't part of it?

Thanks
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

at http://msdn.microsof...tion_source.asp you'll see the caes in which the patch must access the original installation source. Hope this help.

Hello Andreas,

... a good hint!!!

I will have a look at the
"Populate the MsiFileHash Table for all unversioned files."
The file, I told, where the request occures is an unversioned file.
And the MSI is generated with ISWI 1.5 . These MSIs are generated without the MsiFileHash Table. MSIs generated by IS X have this table.

Many thanks!
Johannes
