Hello,

I created a patch of a Standard InstallShield 7.04 Installation for the first time, with no problems.

But when I tried to apply this patch, by executing the created Update.exe file, I received the following warning, after the "Preparing to Install" dialog: 1: This installation can not be run by directly launching the MSI package, you must run setup.exe

What does this warning mean, what setup.exe should I be running instead?

Note1: When creating the patch, the patch creation wizard created administrative images of both the previous package and the package which it is to be upgraded to.

Note2: I have also tried creating a patch without creating the patch launcher and applying the patch using the MSP file with the same results.

Thank you in advance,
Ian Frangs.

Are you sure you're using version 7.04? I'm asking because in 7.02 there was a known bug:

I am using Installshield Debeloper 7.04.
But i have solved this problem by creating un uncompressed install of the latest package and referring to this using the patch wizard.

Thanks.
