ISDEV : warning Val0015: The CreateFolder table contains new content.

[Barvaz]

Hi,

I have created two msi installers, one I use as a Base MSI and the other I use as an updated MSI, this second MSI includes 3 updated files only.
So, from this, I created a patch between the two but I get errors like this:

ISDEV : warning Val0015: The CreateFolder table contains new content. Therefore, if you are packaging this upgrade as a patch, you will not be able to make it an uninstallable patch.

In the updated MSI I didn't made any change! Just refresh 3 files with more updated files!
I compared the two files with "InstallShiled MSI Diff" tool and found NO differences in CreateFolder table content (The Table wasn't marked in Green – Modified)
I read paragraph "Val0015" in the InstallShield help and didn't found any solution - I searched the WEB and have not found a solution.

is there anyone here who might have just a little clue as to what could be wrong??

Thanks.

I compare by mistake the ISM files instead of the MSI files and therefore I did not find the differences – Now, I can see the differences in CreateFolder table.
You can see the differences in the attachment - Do you have any idea what can causes these differences? Are these cause/changed due to folder that define as dynamic files? How can I solved it?

Thanks

Hi,

I've an installation file that contains dozens of components – Only three of them are define as dynamic file linking.
The setup is already released to many customers and I can't change/fix it.
Now I need to create a patch and each time it failed with the following error:

ISDEV : warning Val0015: The CreateFolder table contains new content. Therefore, if you are packaging this upgrade as a patch, you will not be able to make it an uninstallable patch.

New ID are generated for the dynamic files linking in each build and therefore I got this error.
Does anyone have an idea how to solved this problem? How can I make any work around to create patches "includes" dynamic file linking
Please note – I will have to create many patches for this version so one time solution is not good for me

Please advice
Many Thanks

Hi, while making the minor upgrade for the patch are you proving the base msi in the new release's previous msi option?
