Microsoft Patch file is not overwritting application exe

Hi,

i have created Microsoft Patch file for my application setup to overwrite
the existing application exe with latest one.

i have used below code to create the MSP file
msimsp -s patch.pcp -p patch.msp -l patch.log


MSP file is created sucessfully and it is installed without error but below
points need to be addressed.
1) Latest application exe is not getting refreshed. older exe is only
available. if i rename the older exe and installed MSP file then latest exe
is available in application installation path.
2) MSP is open in repair mode.

Please let me know how to fix these issues.

Regards,
P. Saravanan

Hi Saravanan,
During creating of msi file set REINSTALLMODE=amus
or creat a batch file and enter
msiexec /p patch.msp REINSTALLMODE=amus
you, for best result for patch,enterd
msiexec /p patch.msp REINSTALLMODE=e
