Hello, I am trying to build a Patch using the Patch Design from a Basic MSI Project, InstallShield 2015 Premier. We have a base(release) MSI, that is pointed "Previous Setup" and used as a reference to generate the Patch. The Patch is created and deploys fine when there new file changes(dlls, exe. etc). When I add a new folder with a file under a dynamically linked location,  the Patch installer gives a run time error "Error 2705.Invalid table: Directory; Could not be linked as tree." I  have tried tracing the links in the directory table, and they seem to be all connected as tree. If I remove the folder, the installations works fine. Also, when I try to add the folder and subfolders to a different folder under the same dynamically linked folder ,it give a compile time warning for creating Patch : Val0015: The CreatFolder table contains new content. If I remove the new folder, it builds with warning or errors. Any help in this will be appreciated. ... View more

Cannot stream into the Binary table. (Error Code: -1024) (2) The English (United States) value for the string 'ID_STRING7839' does not contain a legitimate value for table Directory column DefaultDir (Error Code: -7354) For the (1) the file is present in the location but still the error. Also tried to browse and add the file, but the file is not shown when browsed. Tried to give permission but didnt help. Is there something I am missing? For (2) I have other project files which are working fine without this entry in the Directory table, so am not sure what am I missing here. Please give in your inputs. Thanks, Amar ... View more

Hello, This seems like a simple one, but i cant find a way to fix this. When a wrong password is entered, a warning message is shown, on clicking OK, it goes back to the password still has two characters left, and its not cleared or blank. Which ideally it should be blank. On removing setting the PASSWORD property to false, i see that the two characters are "" two quotes. This value is defined for the "Next" button click. If i remove it and make it blank, it gives an error "1627: Error while trying to replace the record". Don't know how else to set it to null. Or if the InstallSctript has to be changed? Can anyone help? Thanks, Amar ... View more
