Hello!
Does someone have an idea, why my patch wizard stops with:
ERROR: Cannot create patch file for ... at ...
Diskspace can't be the problem. ( 20GB left )
The DLL has a size of 10MB.
Thanks in advance!
Johannes

Yes,
the version is different in base msi and patch msi.
If this dll is present, the Wizard stops with that error, when comparing this dll. If the dll is not present, the Wizard runs through. Because of that dll is the largest file to compare, I thought, this could be the problem.
The problem occures on two different systems.
Regards!

Additional Information:
If I select "Use entire file ..." the Wizard runs through without error.
Therefor it seams to be a problem of the program that checks the differences!

Looks like Microsoft's patching engine has a problem generating the binary diff between the two files. I have no idea why this would happen, and I didn't find anything about this.
Does you log give some more verbose information?
(Do you have a virus scanner running?)

Hello Stefan, thanks for your answere!
No, the virus scanner wasn't running at that time.
Perhaps I should tell, that I'm still using ISWI 1.5.
The last lines in the logfile are:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Files differ: 'B:\patch_arriba\neu\entpackt\.\program files\RIB\ARRIBAb\V10.1\Exe\Arriba\Bin\filt.Dll',
'B:\patch_arriba\alt\entpackt\.\program files\RIB\ARRIBAb\V10.1\Exe\Arriba\Bin\filt.Dll'.
Patch file created: FTK=filt.dll; temp location=Family00\01658.HDR.
Files differ: 'B:\patch_arriba\neu\entpackt\.\program files\RIB\ARRIBAb\V10.1\Exe\Arriba\Bin\Pdc.Dll',
'B:\patch_arriba\alt\entpackt\.\program files\RIB\ARRIBAb\V10.1\Exe\Arriba\Bin\Pdc.Dll'.
ERROR: Cannot create patch file for 'B:\patch_arriba\neu\entpackt\.\program files\RIB\ARRIBAb\V10.1\Exe\Arriba\Bin\Pdc.Dll' at 'E:\TEMP\testpatch\Family00\01659.PAT'.

That the previous file could be compared, shows, that it's not a problem of the directory structure.
Thanks!

Maybe download the Developer 8 Evaluation (which should include the latest Microsoft binaries) and see if that succeeds.
