Windows 10: Install MSI and MSP at once with PATCH MSI Property

Hi,


till today I thought, that it is possible to apply an upgrade and an update to a program at the same time using:

msiexec.exe /i "c:\x\x.msi" PATCH="C:\x\x1.msp;C:\x\x2.msp"


Today I got problems when running the program because some files and registrations where not updated.


A test using

msiexec.exe /i "c:\x\x.msi"

and then

msiexe /update "C:\x\x1.msp;C:\x\x2.msp"

worked fine all files have been copied and all registrations were made.


Is this a bug or is the option using the MSI Patch Property not really supported?

Windows 10 Windows Installer Folder MSI and MSP files

I have about 410 GB of MSP and MSI Files. Patch Cleaner said it did something to delete files, but the numbers did not change. Disk Cleaner and CCleaner have done nothing. Really 420 GB of "Other Files" according to CCleaner. That's 95% of my storage.
Yes, I have a 440 GB Digital Hard Drive.

Windows 10 Windows Installer Folder MSI and MSP files

Thanks Andre. I'm on it. But. . .
I hope someone catches me before i fall over the cliff here. I MAY find something new with TreeSize, Windirstat or Wiztree; but Ccleaner has already pinpointed around 420 GB out of a 450 GB Digital Hard drive. It's all about deleting Unused
MSI and MSP files from my Windows 10 Installer Folder. Can the 3 above mentioned help with that?
I'm going in.
