Hi,
I'm receiving the following error during the creation of a new patch. We've upgraded from 10.2 to 10.6 since the previous patch. Here's the log...any ideas?
Checking builds status... done.
Build required.

Analyzing the MSI files found that the resulting patch might not apply correctly. The target or upgraded MSI broke some of the patch rules. For more details, please see the Patch help page.

Re: Issue Patching install
Hello,
This is happening because you are trying to create a patch between two .MSIs which are build with different versions of Advanced Installer. This is why you get that warning :
So, here is what you can try:
1) create the upgrade project using the 10.0 version of Advanced Installer and then create the patch project.
2) Create the upgrade project using the 10.6 version of Advanced Installer(or the last version 10.8 ) and send the updates as a major update, not as a patch.
Please let us know if that helped.
Best regards,
Dan

Please keep in mind that when you authoring a patch package you have a number of restrictions.Warning: Different authoring tools versions.

Re: Issue Patching install
I understand that it would be a warning but is that what is causing the error? It seems to me that Msimsp wouldn't really care what the authoring tools are as long as they follow Windows Installer's patching rules.
Re: Issue Patching install
Hi,
Each new Advanced Installer version includes new features, improvements and bugfixes. Therefore, some differences may appear between packages created with different versions of Advanced Installer because new Advanced Installer version will include new code compared to an older version.
Since the patch creation process is very strict and doesn't allow many changes, it is not recommended to create a patch between packages created with different versions of Advanced Installer.
If you have other questions, please let us know.
