Your solution of editing the msi file in the same way has worked fine. Thanks a lot again. Within the same monitoring, after installing v. 18, I was able to run the patch to 18.0.1 without any problems. I have just sequenced PASW 18, and it too gave the same problem as v. 17.

I will have to talk to my boss about that. Tim sure knows his stuff. I know him from his screencasts and from the softgridguru.com forums. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers, Rickard Hi Nicke,

That sounds interesting. I will have to talk to my boss about that. Tim sure knows his stuff. I know him from his screencasts and from the softgridguru.com forums.

Thanks for the heads up.

We have invited Tim Mangan to come to Sweden (and Malmö) and have a 5-day app-v training, check out my web-site - I would have sent you an e-mail or smthng, but couldn't locate any contact-information. /Nicke Hello,

Thank you for the MST! And for Zahid Aziz, I had also this problem but solved it. Try too install the patch and copy the unpacked MSI and other files from the temp directory where it is unpacked temporarily too your own directy before it is deleted. Then install this MSI the same way with the MST file and everything installs without any problems!! I have now a working sequence with 17.0.2, smartviewer 15.0, Python and the SPSS Data Access Pack I also had this problem. Thank you for the MST!

Have a look in the temp directory when you launch the patch. Even if the patch is a exe, it could be an msi “in disguise”. Have a look in the temp directory when you launch the patch.

It enabled me to sequence SPSS v. 17.0. We then tried applying the enormous patch file(PASWStats17.0.2WindowsPatch.exe) which upgrades it to the new name PASW17. The first time we did both in the same monitoring (install SPSS v. 17 and apply patch to PASW). When the patch reached the end of the installation, the PC suddenly rebooted itself. I then tried another way. I sequenced v. 17 and saved it. Then I reopened it in the sequencer for a package upgrade and applied the patch. This time when the patch reached the end and I clicked the final OK button the PC just hung. It hung so badly that the mouse pointer wouldn't move and ctrl-alt-delete wouldn't work. I had to turn the PC off and on. This patch is an exe file rather than msi, so we can't try to transform its behaviour. Thanks for this. It enabled me to sequence SPSS v. 17.0.
