Hello All
I'm working with ISWI 2.03 on a Win2000 OS SP2.

For updating our product we want to use an update.
The update is a major update.
With the new version i've done the following:
1 - Change both 'Package Code' and 'Product Code'. Didn't change the 'Upgrade Code'.
2 - Added the following line to the 'Upgrade Table':
{F20000B3-903E-4AAA-9F8A-3602D3584B2C} | 0.0.0 | 1.3.189 | 1025 | OLDPRODUCTS
and added to 'Property Manager' the 'SecureCustomProperties' with the value :  OLDPRODUCTS.

Now what's the problem:
When applying the update with a re-install the update works fine,
when trying to applying the update with an 'update.exe' file
created with the ISWI wizard i'm getting the error:

Quote

Internal Error 2356. Data.Cab

This is during the copying process.
Now the Q is why?
I know that the error indicates something with the cab file,
either it's corrupt or missing but why corrupt (or by who)
and why missing (where is it looking for it) and how can i fix it?

I really nead the help here so please if any one has an suggestion
let me know

Hi All

I found out the problem was that the target machine had
Windows Installer version 1.1, after updating the Windows Installer to 2.0
the patch worked.
well not quite...
The patch did seem to work but no new files where actually added
Looking to the log file of the patch using the new tool 'WiLogUtl.exe'
i found the following lines to be the problem (probably)
