Hi,
again, patches and me...
I have created (using DevStudio9, Basic MSI project) a patch that performs a major upgrade.
The patch also performs some InstallScript actions which perform some necessary adaptations on some files.
The patch performs well, but at the end it starts itself again automatically, trying to apply the patch to the now updated version. It does not change any files then (which is kind of correct, cause everything is on the newest level).
Why does that happen??
Anyone has an idea what that might be?
Thanks for any help,
Regards,
Jörg

There may be a problem with the version relationship you specified in the Patch view. Make sure you use the "=" relation.

Hm, I don't really understand this;
Wouldn't that mean 'Previous version = New Version' as a condition for the
patch to be installed?
Or what exactly does that entry mean? The description of the entry is very the confusing (or the translation of it in our german version, maybe....)

the wording is misleading. It actually means base version = target version, in other words: apply the patch only to the exact same version it was created for.

OK,
I have tried this, but no effect;
Patch- Installer still starts again after finishing the update.
Is there anything else I can try?

Maybe a log file would help to diagnose the problem.
