Patch issues?

Hi All,

I'm getting an error when trying to generate a patch with 2 previous versions.

Prev 1 : 5.0.0.1
Prev 2 : 5.0.1.13
Latest : 5.0.1.20

When I try this and "build patch" I get the following error :

This patch contains multiple transform sets and is a mixture of QFE, minor, and/or major patches

From what I've seen in searching for this particular error on the web, it seems as if it doesn't like the fact that I'm trying to generate a patch including a minor (e.g. 5.0.0.1 to 5.0.1.13) update AND a QFE (small?) update (e.g. 5.0.1.13 to 5.0.1.20).

Is there any way I can do this? Or if the patch includes an update in the revision version number, I can only then patch to another revision number increment like as follows :

Prev 1 : 5.0.0.1
Prev 2 : 5.0.1.13
Latest : 5.0.2.7

Thanks,

Daniel

A true patch installer only includes the "delta" between one file and another. You cannot delta from one file to two others, or from two files to one. Patch installers can only take a given file from one signature to another.

You might be better off using a minor update than a patch installer. Or create a different patch installer for each version.
