The PYRO message is just warning you that you might get source prompts. Ignore it for now.
Add a property definition in your upgraded MSI <Property Id="MSIENFORCEUPGRADECOMPONENTRULES" Value="1" /> Build it and try installing the new MSI as a minor upgrade. That will check for certain kinds of problems and issue an error during the update if found. Check over the upgrade folders on disk and if they seems OK, then the problem is in the patch generation, rather than the upgrade MSI. If that's the case then Id load the base MSI and view the patch applied to it in Orca/instead, check the new resources are OK and run ice validation on the combination. If all seems well examine a verbose log produced from applying the patch. -----Original Message----- From: Muzikayise Flynn Buthelezi [mailto:muzkay...@gmail.com] Sent: 03 October 2012 21:55 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Patch not installing files. 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.
