Hi,

while updating my product the error message "Error: 1706 No valid source could be found for product TEST "appear

I didn't face this issue before i made some changes in setup.

I added some new feature in under New Merge Module Holder Object 2

1. DAO 3.50
2. DAO 3.60
3. Microsoft Jet Database Engine 3.51 (English)

and remove the merge module New Merge Module Holder Object 1
1. MFC 6.0
2. MFC 7.0
3. MFC 7.1
4. MFC 7.1 (Localized)


and add code for restart after each install/uninstall/update activity.

if i upgrade my old versions(which donot include this merge module) then there is no issues.

but if i upgrade the version created after this modification then error appears.

E.g. Version 1 has New Merge Module Holder Object 1


Version 2 has New Merge Module Holder Object 2 and New Merge Module Holder Object 1 was removed.

Version 3 has New Merge Module Holder Object 2


Senario1:

If i upgrade version 1 with version 2/3 it works fine.

Senario2:

if i uninstall version Version 1 and then install Version 2 followed by upgrade to Version 3 cause an error.


please help me out to solve this issue as this is very urgent.


Thanks in advance

Why are you using the merge module holder object in a "InstallScript MSI" project instead of adding the merge modules directly? Or are you using the "InstallScript" project type (as opposed to "InstallScript MSI")?
