not a proper MSI when creating a patch
Hi,
Last week I created a setup version 1.0.0.0 (basic MSI, uncompressed, custom action with installscript). This week I modified it a little bit and created setup version 1.0.1.0 and run into a problem with patch creation.
When I use Patch Design and fill everything, what is needed, the creation fail with an error. In log file is written "ERROR: UpgradedImages.MsiPath 'C:\MyPath\MyApp.msi' is not a proper MSI."
I appreciate any help cause I coudn't find anything on the Internet.

I found solution.
I am using 4 InstallScript custom action and these functions can be found in Direct Editro in ISInstallScriptAction Table. Normaly all my function had Type value set to 0 (second column). But one of them was set to 65536. I don't know how this happend but when I set the value to 0 patch creation worked normally.
