Hi there guys
I've ran into an issue now where a patch we've built applies without fault, but doesn't actually make any changes except to the ARP entries.
I would've abandoned the patch and gone to look at the project file, but I've managed to install the patch correctly if I install it like this (as part of a first-time install):
msiexec /i myapp.msi /qb PATCH="%pathToMsp%"
Any ideas?

Hi,
Can you reproduce this behavior on other machines?
If the problem persists please send us a sample test case which reproduces this behavior to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate this issue. The test case should contain:
- the AIPs of the target and upgraded images
- the resulted target and upgraded installation packages
- the AIP of the patch project
- the resulted MSP file

Cosmin

Hi,
If you received warnings when building the patch then most likely this is the cause of the problem.
Usually, file sequencing errors appear when you add a merge module to the upgraded package or both packages contain the same merge module and you add files to the upgraded package.
