Debug Patch

Post by ParallaxiT »

How, if possible, do i debug a patch.

We are having lots of issues with no answers found from queries on the forums so far and this would help immensely.

Every time we get ready to purchase the full versions for our team we run into something we can't get an answer for, hopefully support is better once we are a paying customer.

Thanks!!

Hello, does anyone know how to debug a patch? I am having troubles in deploying my patch. It says that PCW_CAB_* cannot be found in the cabinet file. I wanted to debug the patch build so I can determine the cause of this issue but I am dead on the water.

Please help.

TIA.

You could write to file to log your setup behavior. (But your problem, ramil, is in the Apply Patch command)

Try to run the patch using patch.exe /l=C:\log.txt to log the patch.

It could be valuable if you were to post a log you generate with your patch.

Also try setting the compiler variable LONGCOMPONENTS to TRUE, if you haven't already.
