I have one patch defined having older previous setup version added. Patch gets build and installed correctly. Issue is - no file is replaced.
When applying patch in Orca - files are reported to be updated.
When applying in reality - nothing changes.

I have noticed after installting patch with verbous logging that is previos working patches that we made secion Patch Modified Files List in log contained files that were actually changed and replaced.
In this patch - after this log section: "Patch Modified Files List" there are no entries !!!

Anyone can help with that - any idea?

Any SELMGR errors in the log?

Did you double check the base and target version settings and relationship, to make sure that the patch transform is applicable?

[plmamar]

 I have no SELMGR and replations looks correct

 

 

  previous package current package UpgradeCode {171ADAEC-52D3-415D-A0B0-271224E922C7} {171ADAEC-52D3-415D-A0B0-271224E922C7} ProductCode {90153326-7691-4093-B52F-8405D0D0867F} {90153326-7691-4093-B52F-8405D0D0867F} ProductVersion 6.05.01590 6.05.02604

[plmamar]

I will rewrite this as export table from excel failed:

 

UpgradeCode and ProductCode are the same and ProductVersion are different prev=6.05.01590 current=6.05.02604

Does it work if you update using the full msi instead of a msp?

[plmamar]

Sorry for delay - I had some out of office time.

I tried to install full msi but it fails with message - another version of this product is already installed - and asks to go to add/remove programs to uninstall.

I have converted project to 2012 form 2010 to find if that can help - but 2012 occures to fail to include some automatic references and differential package buil completly fails (it says during the build that if fails to find correct dependant file names - they are com object - so it actually should).

[Stefan Krueger]

You either have to run msiexec.exe /i your.msi REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL or use setup.exe to avoid this error message.

[plmamar]

It helped to install -> files were updated. I compared it with our settings and we had different part:  REINSTALLMODE=os.

This was the setting we previously has been using and it worked fine (we wanted not to update registry).

I also made patch with vomus instead of os and this looks like it needs oryginall installation stored on the cliet - which we unfortunatelly do not have - probably v options forces that.

[Stefan Krueger]

v is not required in a .msp, only when installing a full .msi as minor update.

[plmamar]

Where should I look for a reason than of failing patch to replace files while full installation replaces files correctly?

 

I made that msp with v before Your last post and I tried to insall - system asked for missing main installation - we do not store it on the client side - so I copied it. Than patch installed correctly - but did not replace files.

The same msi package that mps was made from installed on top of previous installation - replaced files correctly.

[Stefan Krueger]

Okay, so let's take a closer look at the msi log file you created during the msp install. What does it say about the files? Something like "won't patch because..."?

Hey plmamar,

 

Did you manage to resolve the issue?

 

I'm facing the same problem: if other components patches for our product already installed patch in question does not update files. If patch in question is installed first - files are updated. in both case visually from end-user prospective patch install looks good. and when files are not updated "Patch Modified Files List" is empty...

 

Stefan: in my case i don't see any entries "won't patch because..." in msi log file...

 

Thanks,

Vlad

[Stefan Krueger]

I've recently seen a patch that didn't include any files. The path was wrong on the build system, so the patch was build essentially empty.

[vladm]

Not my case for sure: looks like my patch conflicts with patches for other components for our product. if I install my patch first - it works just fine. if I install patch for other component first and my patch second - no files are updated.
