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?

Installer folder cleanup. Clean msp & msi patches marked as superseded

Thanks. *Thumbs

In that article it states to use MsiZapU.exe G

I actually used MsiZap. exe G




That's the same command used by another utility that I have installed.

 

Installer folder cleanup. Clean msp & msi patches marked as superseded

Thanks Ed, there's also another tool in your article link that lists all the patches you MUST NOT delete. Between them they say that my System One below (started life as an OEM Win7 machine back in 2011, subsequently had a lot of OEM bloatware uninstalled) has 22 patches that must be kept, and 156 that are not needed. That's potentially 1.4GB of its 1.8GB Installer folder that could be reclaimed.






Interesting, I'll have to think about this long and hard before pulling the trigger.....
