Salutation WIX users,
I've encounter a weird issue with one of our patches recently and I'm really
lost. Tried to understand the problem for 3 days and still nothing so I'm
sending my question your way with hopes someone might see something. It
concerns the hotfix 7 of a build that has already seen 6 successful patches (
.msp ) so it had functional hotfixes before.
When I install the build followed by that hotfix on, let's say a windows server
2003, everything seems to install itself correctly. However under a server 2008
the installation fails with the error message :
"Error applying patch to file C:\Config.Msi\PT1E0D.tmp. It has probably been
updated by another mean and can no longer be modified by this patch." After
looking in the log it seems to be related to the dll Coveo.ces.web.search.dll
installed under the folder bin ( and not the copy in the GAC ). But I mean,
nothing should have changed since the original installation.
I would think it is due to the windows installer version that is used ( 3.0
under server 2003 and 4.0 under server 2008 ) but I haven't found anything that
would support that.
I've encountered that error once before and it was due to the fact that we were
installing 2 identical files in the GAC that were overwriting each other but in
that case, it never happened on the first hotfix (always the second) and it did
not vary depending on the system.
The PCP files are pretty similar as the msi built to generate the msp. I've
compared the failing hotfix 7 log with a successful installation of hotfix 6
and here what I think are are the major differences around the dll
Coveo.ces.web.search in chronological order and I've joined a copy of the log
to the mail.
Thank you for your help,
NickL
