If your patch files are not valid then there is not much anyone can help with. You could try reinstalling the complete package with
msiexec /f aas described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc759262%28v=ws.10%29.aspx[^].hi, thanks for the reply. i think i found out why. originally i was trying to distinguish my application installer so that if a higher version comes the major update can take place. but i dont think the default msi installer can support that. i am gonna try wix or install shield.

I guess a custom action can handle your requirement.
