InstallAware Express 6 : Creating a Patch

rabart · Post by **rabart** » Fri Aug 15, 2008 8:24 am

I want to create a Patch with the above Version of InstallAware, because it was delievered with Delphi2007.

Everthing I've red on this forum, I tried out already, but I still get the errormessage on running the setup : "Please locate your original setup sources to continue operation".

Isn't there a registration where the original setup has been installed?

The Product Code is the same like in the full install.

The Product Version is different.

The output folder is the same

The output filename is the same

Any help?
Maybe it's a problem of the version? Is it possible to upgrade to vers. 7 or 8?

Thanks in advance

Arthur

what was the original setup a web, uncompressed, or single exe?

It was uncompressed.

Hi, I am sure that you can find the answer in InstallAware Documentation installed beside. (Under InstallAware Help Library -> Gettting Started -> Developing Setups -> Patching). For InstallAware 7.

Hope this help.

thanks for the help.

I found out now:

It only works, if you make your first Setup as a WEB-BASED version. Otherwise not.

Also the PRODUCT-VERSION is important to keep it the same.
