I am receiving a 6415 error message when I try and build a patch for our latest software release. I have built this patch several times before against previous versions of the software.
As part of the previous release a component was being loaded in as a dependency, this has been introduced on the new release as a component as the version has been updated. This is now not complaining during the build and says that it will happily upgrade the version.
Both of the packages are uncompressed and share product versions, the log I see in the Build window is:

If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful 🙂
I would start by looking at the referenced log file, as it may give you a good idea what's going wrong: C:\TFSLocal\PRS\Development\Solutions\publish\Full Installers\Patches\SizingSuite_2.0.0.0_Update\Interm\PatchCreation.log
