MSP and cached MSI version
Hi,
I had to create my first .MSP file and it's going very fine.
My question is, I am applying the patch file using this command line:
msiexec /p path\file.msp REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus /qb
I am expecting this command line to update the cache MSI copy of the application AND apply the changes to the installation.
The application is updated fine but I am not sure if the cached MSI is updated. Should I expect the MSI located in c:\Windows\Installer to be updated to the new version?
If it is supposed to, then it's not working, the cache version is not updated but i see an MSP file created in the folder.
Is this the expected behavior?
Thks,
Bob

A patch doesn't update the cached MSI.
When you install an MSP it will actually perform a reinstall with the MSP's (embedded) transform(s).
