Hi All please help me in how to create the patch with multiple previous setups.
I am using the installshield 11 professional edition,while creating the patch i added the latest setup as version 2.2.5.1 and in previous1 is 2.2.4.0 ,previous2 is 2.2.5.0 after adding the setups i build ed the patch, while building the patch i got an error message as
"There was an error creating the patch package. writing contets of log file 'E:\install\vis\patch\patchConfiguration1\Interm\PatchCreation.log' to output window"
So please give some suggestions for this,
i tried some methods that was mentioned in help
1.Free up disk space
2.Ensure that a valid GUID is used for ProductCode, UpgradeCode, and Package Code of both the base and upgraded MSI packages.
3.Ensure that any previous and latest setups used in building the patch contain an UpgradeCode.
please help me ....urgent.....Thanks for Help.
Regards,

Please increment the ProductVersion number in one of the first three fields. Windows Installer ignores the fourth field, so 2.2.5.1 and 2.2.5.0 are treated as identical version numbers.
From the log:
Val0003: This setup will perform a SMALL upgrade of the referenced previous setup e:\my installshield 11 projects\old_backup\vista\copy (3) of workingpatchbackup_080423\patch\previous4\colavo.msi

Note the "QFE" is sometimes used when referring to a "small update".

Dear stefan-san,
I solved the problem, what u mentioned is correct( Please increment the ProductVersion number in one of the first three fields. Windows Installer ignores the fourth field, so 2.2.5.1 and 2.2.5.0 are treated as identical version numbers.
)
After building the patch, while running the patch i am getting the 1706 error,
i gave msi commandline arguments in patch configuration as REINSTALLMODE=omus REINSTALL=ALL,
please help me out in this situation.

The v is missing from your REINSTALLMODE, it should be:
REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL
REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL

You can ignore these errors. They're telling you that an icon is missing for a dialog control. I see these for 99% of vendor-supplied MSIs.

Thanks VBscab-san for your reply,
According to Stefan-san suggestion i was changed the REINSTALLMODE option from "omus" to "vomus",
After that if run through the verbose mode(setup.exe /v"/l*vx c:\mylog.txt") it is working fine,but if run directly(by double clicking) it was giving the error,i attached this as an attachment,
in attachment if i press ok then it gave pop up as
" the path cannot be found.verify that you have access to this location and try again,or try to find the installation package productname.msi in a folder from which you can install the product."
if i press cancel then it is giving the message as
"installation source for this product is not available. verify that the source exists and that you can access it"
please help me in this situation.

If the source cannot be found for a previous install to be re-installed, then clearly the source is unavailable! Check the source list for the product. This can be found beneath HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\[PackedProductCode]\SourceList\LastUsedSource
where [PackedProductCode] is the product's Product Code packed in the bizarre way that Microsoft deemed was an efficient method. Below are 2 routines to create and decipher the packed string. So, feed in the Product Code you're looking for, then look beneath the registry key above for the packed (or, as I call it above, munged) Product Code, then the SourceList key's LastUsedSource value.

Thanks VBscab-san for your wonderful reply,
1.You told is correct,there is no source is available, what is the solution for this?
i am updating using the patch mechanism( update.exe for update the old versions).
2. San i have one more doubt regarding multiple previous setups,
is it possible to give version number for latest (means 2.2.5.1 to latest setup), for previous setup1 2.2.4.0 and for previous setup2 is 2.2.5.0?
instead of giving latest setup as 2.2.6.0, previous setup1 as 2.2.4.0 and for previous setup2 as 2.2.5.0
because i need to update only fourth field for 2.2.5.0 and for 2.2.4.0 we need to update both third and fourth field.
i tried by changing the version of latest setup to 2.2.5.1,i got 6415 build error,
please give some suggestions on this.
