We have the multiple MSI's for the different languages, so each MSI has its own ProductCode and UpgradeCode. Using English MSI's, we created a patch using Aaron's approach in <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/10/26/5700191.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/10/26/5700191.aspx</a>, e.g. candle / light / torch / pyro with the following Patch.wxs: <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> <Patch AllowRemoval="yes" Manufacturer="xxx" MoreInfoURL="xxx" DisplayName="MyProduct First Patch" Description="My Product First Patch" Classification="Update Rollup" > <Media Id="5000" Cabinet="RTM.cab" > <PatchBaseline Id="RTM"/> </Media> <PatchFamilyRef Id="PatchFamilyRollup"/> </Patch> <Fragment> <PatchFamily Id='PatchFamilyRollup' Version='1.1.1.1' Supersede='yes'> ... </code></pre> However, when we apply this patch on the machine where non-English MSI was installed, we get the following error: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch." So my question is, is it possible to create a patch (MSP) that can be used on any language? If so, what needs to be done?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
