When I open the Command Prompt as the administrator and follow the download's installation instructions, I get this message: "This patch package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package." Is there a way around this problem?

The size is listed next to the download link under the HTTP section. It sounds like your download may have been corrupted. I assume you are trying to install update 2? There is a known issue installing update 2 that is different than the problem you describe.

I was trying to install update 1 before installing 2. Is that the way it should be done?

I was trying to install update 1 before installing 2. Is that the way it should be done? That isn't necessary. Update 2 is cumulative so it can be installed over the original shipping version of Borland Developer Studio 2006 or over Update 1. Please see the readme included in the .zip file for additional information. -- Angel Martinez Technical Support Engineer 800-523-7070 CodeGear Back to top Bob Swart Guest Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 12:07 am    Post subject: Re: Installing BDS2006 Updates in Vista Hi Bob, Quote: I'm having a problem installing the updates for BDS2006 under Vista. When I open the Command Prompt as the administrator and follow the download's installation instructions, I get this message: "This patch package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package." This is a "known" issue, and is caused by the fact that it cannot find the installation database. See http://www.drbob42.com/examines/examin84.htm for details. Quote: Is there a way around this problem? You have to manually start the installation of Update #2, by using a command prompt to go to the directory where the Update #2 msp file is located. Note that a "Run as Administrator" command prompt is needed. The actual command line is as follows: msiexec /update bds2006_en_arch_upd2.msp Note that the "en" and "arch" parts here may be different for your specific version of Delphi 2006. This will run the Update #2 installer, after which you can also apply the HotFix Rollup, which like Update #2 is available for all registered Delphi 2006 users. The HotFix Rollup is an single executable that will not give any further compatibility problems when applying.
