[edit] Overview
The installation method for AuditWizard 8.4.5 has been changed from an executable package (.exe) to the Windows Installer patch file format (.msp). Some users may encounter errors in attempting to run the upgrade installer. This is the error:
The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the update 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.
When the upgrade installer runs successfully, it modifies the database. If you can't run the upgrade installer, the database can be updated manually using a SQL script in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. A Clean Reinstallation is required.
