Minor Upgrade
Hi,
Currently i am working on Minor upgrade in Installshield. In my case i have some limited number files and folders which need to be updated on the already existing product.
To create a minor upgrade i have to put the list of files in RemoveFiles table which are not part of the minor upgrade installer. But i want to retain these files. The minor upgrade should work as if a Patch on top of some version installed on the Production Server.
How to do this?
Regards
Yaseen D M

If you haven't yet, you might want to read the InstallShield and Windows Installer documentation on minor upgrades. As I understand them, you only need to supply the new files; you shouldn't do anything to remove files that haven't changed.

I have already read the help from helpnet and also checked the help from installshield. I did created a minor upgrade with the configurations required for minor upgrade.
The problem i am facing is, the minor upgrade doesn't allow me to execute the Database script, and also the installation shows successfully finished without replacing any files.

Can't help with the database issue.
As for the files, are they versioned files with a higher version number? Have you tried logging the upgrade to see if that gives you any information?

Only dll's are version not the files as files cannot have verstion numbers. Only difference in the files is Modified date.
But main concern is Database. Why this minor upgrade execute the script? Where as if i a major upgrade it executes the scripts as well.
