Getting the below error when trying to exporting the base solution (happening in two different environments where one of them has the solution as unmanaged and the other one as managed). Does anyone had this issue before?

    hey , as i mentioned earlier - you will not be able to export the main solution from the environment. But you will be able to export the patches.

    if you have to merge all the patches in source and then export it.

    Hi, thanks for your answer, let me explain the scenario in more detail maybe you can help me.

    I have two environments one is development and the other is production. In development i have the base solution as v0.5.0.0 and 3 patches v0.5.1.0, v0.5.2.0, v0.5.3.0 all as unmanaged. In the production environment i have the same solutions apart from v0.5.3.0 and all solutions are managed. What i need is to know which changes are there in the v0.5.3.0 patch and was thinking of doing this by comparing the xml of the base solution from both environments.

    Is there any other way to do it apart from comparing xml?

    Hello,

    I m thinking the cloned patches are there from this main solution.

    if that is the case you wont be able to export this.
