Re: File:// path for local network URL prerequisite

Here is an update to my last posting. It appears that file:// only works if you place the prerequisite run under the pre-install section. If I put under the feature-based or post-install packages that is when I receive that error. Do those sections not have access to the file system or what? Or am I ...

Re: Invoking a Rollback

How I do I know when to show that error message? "Error Message" is only enabled in the install finalize sequence. I don't know if my program has errored because I cannot check my return code of my application from AI? Let me ask you this, what does "Synchronous executing, check return code" mean? I ...

Re: Invoking a Rollback

I'm going to give a better explanation of what I'm trying to accomplish and maybe that will better help you help me.

I've got an application that is using SQL CE (.sdf) database files in it. These databases are synchronized with a central database using MS Sync Services. When we change our table ...

Invoking a Rollback

Is it possible to invoke a rollback myself? I have a custom action exe (writting in vb.net) that I run that performs database maintenance (ie adding tables, columns, etc) on a database installed on the user's computer. This custom action will be used primarily during Uninstall/Reinstall operations ...

Re: Patch Family/Families

Ok that makes more sense. So what do you think the best way is to manage what patches need installing? If a person is on v1.0.0 and patches v1.0.1 and v1.0.2 have been released, the app would need to download and apply both patches. I thought that's what patch families were for but maybe not ...

Re: Patch Family/Families

I've double checked at least 3 times. I've started over that many times as well. I'm assuming that each time I change the Product Version from say 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, a new Package Code is supposed to be created correct? But the Product Code remains the same as long as I say "No" when prompted?

This ...

This is my error log.

NFO: Using Pcp Path: [MyPatchPCPFilePath].pcp.

Re: Patch Family/Families

Mihai,

Thanks for the response. That makes sense. If I do use one patch as you described below with 2 families, then would I need to do anything with the patch sequences. I guess I'm still sorta confused where the patch sequences come into play. How do they fit into this scenario?

Thanks again ...

Re: Patch Family/Families

Would it be possible for you to show a print screen of what the "Images" and "Patch Sequences" tabs would look like if you were creating a patch like you described in your example. I'm having a hard time trying to create a patch with this scenario. I keep getting compile errors and I'm not sure what ...
