Was probably using wix 3.0.4004.0 back when this thread was sent. -----Original Message----- From: Heath Stewart [mailto:clubs...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 03, 2009 12:07 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

What version of WiX v3 are you using. A while back I made a change to support the actual database schema so if your MSIs don't match the schema WiX expects it shouldn't be a problem. Now, if your target and upgrade database schemas different the error is there because Windows Installer will fail to install such a patch and it's really hard to diagnose. Rather than failing with an error message stating something like, "The transform is invalid", the database will be garbled within the transform and the failure code could be almost anything depending on what data is garbled and when it's used. Transforms - and by extension patches, since they just contain a bunch of transforms - cannot change the database schemas except to add a new column or a new table. See https://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2007/09/01/column-types-cannot-be-changed-in-a-patch-or-transform.aspxfor more information.
