Hi Justin, try using the following command to install msp: msiexec.exe /p patch.msp /l*vx patch.log /qb REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=ecmus
this works fine for, because if i install the msp without running from command line then the files dont get replaced, this is because my file version is same for old files and new. therefore by using "ecmus" also performs a checksum check and replaces files. not sure about folder not being added? maybe look at your component feature might have been added incorrectly. good luck cheers, On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 8:05 PM, Justin Hull <justin.h...@assetpoint.com>wrote: > A follow up.
