[wix-users] Stumped with burn patch bundle

Wed Aug 10 09:51:31 PDT 2016

Yes, the MSP can be installed outside the bundle.  This is sequential patching, meaning 29.0 cannot upgrade to 29.2 without upgrading to 29.1 first.

I looked at the detect part, and there's one entry in one log that doesn't exist in another:

[3914:6FD0][2016-08-10T10:00:18]i101: Detected package: Xactimate.msp, state: Absent, cached: None
[3914:6FD0][2016-08-10T10:00:18]i105: Detected package: Xactimate.msp target: {945774F5-9F8E-46F7-9F91-FEDD93FE9B93}, state: Absent
[3914:6FD0][2016-08-10T10:00:18]i199: Detect complete, result: 0x0

Vs

[6434:65AC][2016-08-10T10:00:32]i101: Detected package: Xactimate.msp, state: Absent, cached: None
[6434:65AC][2016-08-10T10:00:32]i199: Detect complete, result: 0x0

It seems like the non-working patch didn't detect something it should?

There should something in the Detect part of the log about the applicability of the patch, it looks like the engine doesn't think it can be applied.  Can the MSP be installed outside of the bundle?
