error 6415 building a patch
I'm getting the following error building a patch. I have checked that the ProductCode is the same between this patch and the previous version (which was a major upgrade). I'm not sure where to look next. Any ideas?

The error shows that the productcode GUID isn't valid. What format are you using for the ProductCode? Make sure that it is Alpha Numeric in the following 8-4-4-4-12 format:
{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}
Also note that the letters must be uppercase.

I just let the Project Settings window generate it. Here's the current one: {55081D50-89D9-46EE-AF79-902292962250}
