    Wierd Error

    Just a quick question. I have been making a patches for awhile on Visual Patch for awhile and really haven't changed anything I have done procedurally. Now, out of the blue, i cant get my patches to execute. I get an error " Unable to patch , error (408)". I cant find this error code anywhere. I'm positive I've just made a simple stupid mistake somewhere along the lines. Can any one point me in the right direction?

    That error code indicates that the size of the decoded file doesn't match the file size that was recorded in the diff header.

    If you have the "Cache diff files" option enabled in the build settings, one thing you can try is to disable that or to clear out the diff cache and try building the patch again.

    There were a couple low-level fixes in the differencing engine for 3.0, but we haven't run into any incompatibilities so far.

    The error message should indicate which file is failing -- try building a project that patches only that individual file.

    If you could send the old and new version of that file to me (lorne at indigorose dot com), I'd like to investigate this further.
