Hi,

I have 2 kits (standard projects) created with InstallShield 7.04. The differences between them are the products version (1.00.0000 and 1.01.0000), an exe file, and the package code. I created a patch so the only file included in it was the exe file from the second kit.
I installed version 1.0 and applied the patch. There were no changes, the exe file remained the previously installed. If I deleted the exe file manually and applied the patch the exe file from the second kit has installed.
What have I missed ?  

Thanks

Have you incremented the file version.  Msi only overwrites files with those of greater versions.

See file versionning rules in the msi documentation

Yes I've incremented the file version separately. The 2 exe files have 2 different versions. They were created with Visual C++ 6.0 and I modified the file version manually.
