Make sure that the version of the file in minor upgrade is higher than the base file.

Just make sure that the key file of the component that contains the file(s) to update has changed (eg. higher version for versioned files).

Is it have any others solution to solve it except changing the file version?

[vijayakumar]

How are you installing the patch (cmd line or double clicking the msp)?
If command line is used, then use REINSTALLMODE property.

i install it by double click the msp. So any solution?

[vijayakumar]

you can do that by installing the patch with the help of batch file

Create a batch file with the following command:

msiexec /p patch.msp REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus

Note: Make sure you place the patch in the same directory where the batch file is placed.

[vijayakumar]

use REINSTALLMODE=amus

Apologies for my previous thread

As i know, patch is build when we know which file we need to upgrade but for my application, i dont know which file in the application need to upgrade because edit the file in the application is not i do it, i just help them build the installer and upgrade it so except create batch, is it have another method to do it?

Thanks for yours help..
